Boil Water Notice: Malvern Hills & Sheffield
Residents in the Malvern Hills Rural Water Scheme, including Dalethorpe, Hartleys Rd and Glentunnel, and the Sheffield area, are advised to immediately begin boiling water.

The Selwyn District Council has begun chlorinating immediately in affected areas. Residents will be notified as soon as the water returns normal results.
