Have you noticed 'icebergs' on the Waikato River?
A white foamy discharge has been seen flowing through Hamilton on the Waikato River over the last two days.
It's entering the river through a stormwater pipe located at the northern end of the St Andrews golf course and had formed a three kilometre trail along the river's western bank.
One nearby resident said this is the worst he's ever seen the foam.
Local councils are taking samples, asking around the area, and looking at the stormwater network - but so far it's an unidentified substance.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
