CAUTION ADVISED – testing has shown an increase in toxic algae and slightly elevated E. coli levels at:

– Ōtaki River near the Old State Highway 1 bridge
– Waikanae River at Jim Cooke Park.
Toxic algae can make people sick and can be fatal to dogs. These brown or black velvety mats grow on rocks in the riverbeds or come loose and wash up on riverbanks. Dogs love the musty smell and taste of toxic algae, so please keep them on leads away from the water and never let them scavenge at the river’s edge. If you think your dog has swallowed toxic algae, take them to the nearest vet immediately.
Always avoid swimming for at least 2-3 days after heavy or prolonged rain, which can cause an increase of contaminants in the water. If you’re feeling unwell after swimming at these sites, please see your doctor or ring Healthline 0800 611 116.
Check the LAWA website - lawa.org.nz/swim for the most up-to-date water quality results at your favourite swim spot.

Hi,
We have two king size bed quilts for sale. One is a genuine Mennonite hand made quilt we bought in Lancaster County in the USA. The other is also from the USA.
Open to offers - we need to free up some storage!
Covers are a bit chewed up by pets but the couch has solid bones and is super comfortable. Covers can also be removed to be washed. To be collected from Waikanae.
Splash some colour around your home these holidays with paper roll pals, breakfast trays and a stationery caddy finished in Resene testpots.
Find out how to create your own.

Wooden ramp sited alongside a caravan to give away. This will need dismantling but I don't think it will be to difficult a job. This was installed approx. June/July last year and is now no longer needed. It measures 3760mm long x 900mm at the door area and about 880 the rest of the way down. … View moreWooden ramp sited alongside a caravan to give away.
