Lake Ohau Village and Waitaki District Council in battle over water supply
An urgent upgrade to make Lake Ohau Village's risky water supply compliant with drinking water standards could cost ratepayers at least $760 extra a year.
The village water is drawn from an unreliable stream and stored in eight deteriorating 35-year-old tanks before being gravity fed to properties which are on a permanent boil notice.
In a survey of residents, more than 80 per cent said they did not want chlorine added to the system, but the council said that as a result of the Havelock North water contamination, chlorine might not be optional in the future.
