Dunedin City Council Boil Water Notice Update #7
Boil water notice update #7
Please continue boiling drinking water if you’re in one of the affected parts of the central city, Leith Valley, Woodhaugh or the tertiary precinct.
Dunedin City Council Chief Executive Sue Bidrose says, “We’ve had encouraging results so far and hopefully today we will get ‘day three’ clear bacteria results on the water in the network.
“Today, we are also expecting a further test result for the Ross Creek reservoir water, which will tell us whether protozoa such as cryptosporidium were in the untreated water that went into the pipes earlier in the week. If both tests today are clear, we can lift the boil water notice.”
Dr Bidrose emphasised it’s important people continue boiling their drinking water or use water tanker supplies until advised the notice is lifted. We’ll be advising people today how to flush the pipes on their properties once the boil water notice is lifted.
