Warning in Napier- Dog owners
๐ดโโ ๏ธ Possible Cyanobacteria in the Anderson Park waterways - Please keep dogs away from the area until we give the all-clear. ๐ดโโ ๏ธ
๐ The Problem: Our environmental team has been called to Anderson Park to check a blue-green substance that COULD be cyanobacteria. If it is cyanobacteria, then it's potentially FATAL TO DOGS.
๐ What we're doing about it: We'll get test results back tomorrow (Monday) morning. In the meantime we've put signs up around the area, and we've got a vacuum truck in to get rid of as much of the substance as possible.
๐ What we're asking of you: Until we know what the substance is, we're taking a precautionary approach and assuming it is cyanobacteria. Do not let your dogs drink from or swim in the Pond near the model railway and lighthouse, or the creek next to the Anderson Park Playground.
๐ If your dog shows any of the following signs after drinking from, or swimming or paddling in water, contact your vet IMMEDIATELY and tell them you're concerned about blue-green algae:
๐นVomiting/being sick
๐น Diarrhoea
๐น Seizures/fitting
๐น Weakness/collapse/unconsciousness
๐น Disorientation/confusion
๐น Drooling
๐น Breathing difficulties
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesnโt have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
