The Precautionary Boil Water Notice for the Lake Coleridge water supply has now been changed to a Boil Water Notice.
A boil water notice has been issued by the Council after test results were received showing that E. coli levels were above recommended levels. E. coli was detected in the post-UV area of water treatment and no E. coli has been detected in the reticulation zone. The scheme is currently being chlorinated. However, residents are advised to continue boiling water until further notice.
E. coli is an organism which can cause health issues. When a boil water notice is in place, the Ministry of Health advises that people should boil or treat all water from taps before drinking, brushing teeth or using it in food preparation. In addition, water used to make ice should also be boiled before freezing.
· Bringing water to the boil is sufficient to kill all bugs (water does not require prolonged boiling). Water needs to be boiled even if the smell or taste of chlorine is present. If you cannot boil water, treat it by adding 1 teaspoon of household bleach per 10 litres of water and leave for 30 minutes
· During boil water notices, employers should also make sure their staff are only consuming boiled or bottled water at work.
Residents should continue to boil water until notified that the boil water notice is lifted. It is likely to be in place for several days. . If you or your family show any symptoms of sickness please visit your doctor as soon as you are able to.
