FEATHERSTON BOIL WATER NOTICE
All drinking water in Featherston must be boiled for drinking, food preparation and brushing teeth.
This weekend’s unusually high rainfall has caused surface water to enter the Boar Bush reservoir, which has contaminated the water supply. As a precaution, people in Featherston should boil their water before use, as this is the best way to make water safe.
This boil water advisory is in effect immediately until further notice. We will provide an update as soon as possible.
Boiling will kill all disease-causing organisms. Follow these steps on how to properly boil water:
1. Bring water to a rolling boil (where bubbles appear in the centre and do not disappear when the water is stirred) for one minute or boil a full electric jug until it switches off
2. Cool water (do not use ice cubes to do this) and pour into clean container with a lid
3. Refrigerate until needed
Babies, young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people who have weakened immune systems are more at risk of illness. If you get diarrhoea, vomiting and/or a fever, get advice from your doctor or contact Healthline (0800 611 116).
