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.
Current Notices
Duntroon - Boil Water Notice [ongoing] Please boil drinking water and precautionary measures should also be taken when preparing any food that has to be washed, bathing and cleaning teeth.Otekaieke - Boil Water Notice in place as the water supply is not treated.
