Council has received results showing that the water in Putāruru is now safe to drink and has lifted the Boil Water Notice with support from the Ministry of Health.
You are no longer required to boil your water.
Residents are advised to flush taps for 30 seconds if they have not been in use during the notice.
Council is currently chlorinating the Pinedale Reservoirs where the E.coli was found and will continue to closely monitor the Putāruru water supply.
Thanks to everyone for their patience and understanding over the past 10 days, especially for the assistance with spreading the message to family, friends and neighbours.
We acknowledge that this has been a difficult time for everyone and would like to invite the community to a public meeting to provide us with commentary and feedback.
