Water quality concerns at ECan-funded swimming holes in Hurunui

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Hurunui visitors and residents are now able to make use of four swimming holes, but should check the water quality before jumping in.

Historic swimming holes at Balmoral and the Waiau River were reinstated last summer and have been dug out again for swimmers to enjoy this summer. Both sites have previously recorded high levels of E coli though, so swimmers should check the www.lawa.org.nz... |LAWA website| for the latest water quality information before visiting.

Two new swimming holes have also been created this summer: one at the Waitohi River by the Lake Sumner Rd bridge, and the second at Dog Stream, in the Brooke Dawson reserve in Hanmer Springs. Water quality at both sites is not monitored.

Christmas Spirit

Allan from Rangiora

Went to New World Christmas Eve brought some groceries and as I went to pay a
very kind Lady behind me in the queue reached out and paid for my purchase.
The world still has some wonderful people in it even in these troubled times.
