Napier City Council said it was treating the city's water supply as a "precautionary measure" while it awaited further test results.
The council said the positive E.coli indicator came from a test at its Enfield Road reservoir which services most of the city during periods of high demand.
It warned residents not to panic if their water smelt or tasted of chlorine.

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.
From 2017, HPV immunisation will be free for everyone aged 9 to 26. That means boys can also be protected against some types of cancer.

That means boys can also be protected against some types of cancer.
HPV-related cancers take a long time to develop, the viruses are mostly transmitted by teenagers and young adults but often aren’t diagnosed until later. That’s why it’s important for children to be immunised when they are young. Around 80% of people will be exposed to HPV at some point in their life. Protecting children before they are exposed to HPV will protect their health in the future.
For more information about HPV immunisation, see www.health.govt.nz/hpv

Sanssar, 39, is a self-confessed "sneaker freak". The Frenchman, who has lived with wife Korreen and three kids in rural Hawke's Bay since 2009, still has a wardrobe jammed full, with about 70 boxes of sneakers, but it's a far cry from the 130 he owned at "peak fetish" about five years ago.
