A Precautionary Boil Water Notice is in place for properties connected to the Lake Coleridge water supply. Households on this supply are advised to boil water for drinking or personal use.
A mains power outage has disrupted the UV treatment system on this supply. No E.coli has been detected in the water supply, however the Selwyn District Council cannot guarantee that the water is safe to drink and has issued a Precautionary Boil Water Notice.
Residents are advised to boil water until they receive notification that the notice has been lifted. It is likely to be in place for several days. If you or your family show any symptoms of sickness please visit your doctor as soon as you are able to.

Hungry, wet, cold and stressed is no way to start the school day (if it doesn’t stop them from getting to school) but for over 295,000 Kiwi children living in hardship that is the reality. This can impact their educational growth and lead to a lifelong pattern of underachievement. There is a way to break this cycle; by providing simple things like food, shoes, socks and raincoats, so kids can arrive at school ready and able to learn. KidsCan's aim is to prevent children in hardship from becoming adults in hardship by giving them the start in life they deserve.
