Water tanker available at Te Wharekura o Rūātoki

Chris Rawson from Whakatāne District Council

The Whakatāne District Council advises that a water tanker will be available at Te Wharekura o Rūātoki for at least the next three days, to provide clear drinking water for collection by community members.

Rūātoki’s water supply is currently affected by turbidity (cloudiness) due to the flood conditions in the river. The bores have also been affected by significant erosion of the riverbank, and work will be carried out today to try and reinstate and stabilise the area concerned.

At this stage the bores are operating, and the required volume of water is being treated and pumped to the reservoir serving the area. Daily testing has confirmed no contamination, so the water is safe for all uses. The Council is working to find a long-term solution to the ongoing turbidity problems affecting the Rūātoki water supply.

The water tanker will be available at the Kura today from 10:30 till 5 pm and will also be available between 12:30 pm and 5 pm tomorrow (Thursday). Friday hours will be advised tomorrow.

Please be aware if your child has new caps on their bike and you have not paid for them they are possibly stolen. The photo shows what they may look like but they do come in different colours. This is an opportunistic theft and can happen anywhere your car is parked. So be aware if you see new caps on your kids bike ask questions because these caps are not cheap to replace.

Hi all,

I am seeking koha of tired old items of wooden furniture to up-cycle and sell to raise money for Opotiki SPCA. Only requirement is that they are borer-free, other than that they can be rough as!

I usually volunteer at the SPCA a few days a week but ill health means I can't at the moment so I am thinking of other ways to help.

I hope to do a few pieces for them to sell at Trash & Treasure and hopefully inspire other people to get involved too so that we could make it a regular way for people of any age to socialise productively and be creative while supporting a very worthy cause.

Opotiki SPCA receives no government funding and is almost entirely volunteer run and achieves so much in our community, but they need our support to keep running.

If you would like to donate something or get involved please email upforgoodopo@hotmail.com and I will get back to you to make arrangements.

Thank you,
Robyn

PS - If anyone would like to donate a shed to the SPCA I know it would be very welcome :)
