| BOIL WATER NOTICES
Once a boil water notice is issued it remains until it is lifted. Council will consider lifting a boil water notice when three consecutive water tests pass. Testing is usually done daily when a boil water notice is in place.
Dunrobin - Boil Water Notice in place as the water supply is not treated.
Otekaieke - Boil Water Notice in place as the water supply is not treated.
Lakes Camp Sites [ongoing]
Please boil drinking water at the lakes camp sites.
Otematata [ongoing]
All consumers on the Otematata water supply are advised that all drinking water should be boiled. This is due to the possibility of contamination within the water supply.
Precautionary measures should also be taken when preparing any food that has to be washed, bathing and cleaning teeth.

CONSERVE WATER NOTICES
Last updated 2/9/2010:
Customers on the Awamoko, Dunback and Lower Waitaki Rural Water Supplies are advised to conserve water until further notice. The pumping stations were shutdown on Monday 30/08/10 due to the poor water quality at the intakes for these supplies as a result of the recent heavy rainfall.
The pumping stations at the water intakes for the Awamoko, Dunback & Lower Waitaki Rural Water Supplies have been turned back on and the supply to customers storage tanks should be restored to normal over the next couple of days. We are monitoring the water quality at the pumping station intakes and the reticulation on these supplies and if there is a possible risk of contamination, a BOIL WATER NOTICE shall be issued.
Fine silt can sometimes enter the water supply during and after a flooding event and may block the filter on the water supply pipe to the property. Customers are therefore also advised to inspect and clean the filter on the water supply pipe, which is normally located within a toby box at the property boundary or on the pipe at their water storage tank.
Waitaki District Council apologises for any inconvenience caused and thanks customers for their patience over this period.
