Consumers on the KAURU HILL and WINDSOR water supply are advised to Conserve Water. The source rivers for both schemes are high and dirty, so pumps have been turned off to avoid contamination of the reticulated scheme.
A reminder that Tokarahi is under a Boil Water Notice.There has been an E. coli found during routine sampling. CWL will now commence sampling to ensure that there is no further E. coli in the reticulation. This means three clear samples over the next three days. Corriedale Water Management Ltd. will inform consumers once we have three clear results.
The smoke testing is conducted using a completely harmless and non-toxic white vapour (like the kind used in smoke machines). It is considered safe for humans, animals and plants, leaves no residue or stains, is not a fire hazard and will disappear rapidly without leaving an odour.
The attached Fact Sheet provides residents with more information about this process.
