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.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
