Napier's water has been given the all clear, how do you think the council has handled the e.coli scare?

Reporter Hawke's Bay News

A third consecutive negative e.coli reading, taken from an e.coli affected water reservoir, was returned to Napier City Council on Tuesday. Daily testing for e.coli will continue, as will chlorination, until the reservoir has been fully cleaned and is ready to be reintegrated into the Napier city water network.
National water standards require the council to have three consecutive clear readings to reopen a small tank of the Enfield reservoir. The council has also formulated a programme of work to mitigate any future opportunities for e.coli to present in its reservoir. Level two water restrictions remain in place for now, as to clean both tanks at the affected reservoir will mean they are both offline for short periods of time. For those who are unable to tolerate the chlorinated water supply, four chlorine-free taps remain in place at Anderson Park.
