Have you swum in the Puhokio Stream before?

Reporter The Hastings Mail

People are being asked to stick to Waimarama Beach and avoid swimming in the Puhokio Stream after high levels of E. coli were found in water samples. These indicated excessive amounts of faecal matter, either animal or human in the water. Hastings District Council has put up signage along the stream to warn against swimming and is investigating the potential causes of contamination.
