Boil water notice lifted for users of Waimate’s Hook-Waituna Rural Water Scheme

The boil water notice for Hook-Waituna Rural Water Scheme users has been lifted by the Waimate District Council.

Last Tuesday, council’s Three Waters manager Paul Roberts said the notice was issued after a monitoring sample had resulted in an E. coli transgression.

On Monday, Roberts, in a social media post, advised the boil water notice has been lifted for users of the rural water scheme.

The water scheme supplies a population of 1350 in the district according to a Ministry of Health report from 2022.
