Chlorination of Napier water over the long weekend
Water Chlorination update:
Chlorination of Napier's water will continue through the long weekend after a second positive result for e-coli in the Enfield Road water reservoir was returned.
However it is the lowest e-coli reading detectable and the source has been isolated to one small tank of the two at the reservoir. That tank has now been shut off until further notice.
An investigation into the source of the e-coli is underway.
The Hawke’s Bay DHB has confirmed that no boil water notice is required, as the e-coli reading is extremely low. There has been no increase in cases of reported illness. For more information please read the media release attached.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
