Update #1: Chlorination of water supply in Lower Hutt

Hutt City Council

As part of routine sampling of water quality, a test from the Naenae reservoir had come back positive for e-coli. As a precaution, chlorine is being added to the unchlorinated water supply in Lower Hutt. This does not necessarily mean the water is contaminated. As a precaution, we will always introduce chlorine to part or all of the water network after a positive result, until re-tests confirm there is no contamination.
This means people in Lower Hutt may notice the taste or odour of chlorine in their drinking water in the next few hours.
The chlorinated water is fine to drink without any other treatment. There is no need to boil your drinking water.
The water at the Naenae reservoir and throughout the water network will be re-tested and we will keep you posted here on the results of those tests.
