Water quality concerns at ECan-funded swimming holes in Hurunui
Hurunui visitors and residents are now able to make use of four swimming holes, but should check the water quality before jumping in.
Historic swimming holes at Balmoral and the Waiau River were reinstated last summer and have been dug out again for swimmers to enjoy this summer. Both sites have previously recorded high levels of E coli though, so swimmers should check the www.lawa.org.nz... |LAWA website| for the latest water quality information before visiting.
Two new swimming holes have also been created this summer: one at the Waitohi River by the Lake Sumner Rd bridge, and the second at Dog Stream, in the Brooke Dawson reserve in Hanmer Springs. Water quality at both sites is not monitored.

Kmart duvet recall
Kmart will be recalling a number of their Anko duvet sets.
What you need to know:
- The recall is involving Christmas-themed duvets: Mrs & Mrs Claus Reversible Queen Size Bed Quilt Cover Set and Christmas Elf Reversible Single Bed Quilt Cover Set
- A recall of the products began in Australia following health concerns from several families.
- One woman said she thought she was having a heart attack after using one of the products which smelt of diesel.
- One customer said she’d purchased the quilt covers and said they smelled like gas. Another mum said hers did not have that smell but claimed her son developed a rash that only went away when he stopped using the product.
- The product is no longer available for purchase on the Kmart website.
Regardless of whether you have experienced an issue, customers who have purchased this item may return the product to store for a refund.
