Watch out for toxic algae
Toxic algal blooms are affecting a growing number of Wairarapa's top swimming spots, with people warned to keep children and pets away from the water’s edge.
Greater Wellington Regional Council has advised caution to swimmers in the Ruamāhanga catchments and to keep dogs on leashes.
Senior environmental scientist Dr Mark Heath strongly advises everyone to check for toxic algae before swimming.
If you have been in contact with toxic algae and are feeling unwell see your doctor or ring Healthline 0800 611 116.
