The water quality of our streams can be variable.
Stormwater run-off and other contaminants can affect the water quality of our urban streams.
While there are actions being taken by council and interest groups to improve the water quality in our streams, the water can contain ‘bugs’ that can make people sick. To keep people safe it’s important to follow the tips below.
Here are some tips on enjoying our streams safely:
- Children should always be supervised when playing in or around water.
- Always avoid contact with streams during heavy rain and for 48 hours after it stops raining.
- Never drink stream water.
- Always wash your hands after coming into contact with stream water and before eating.
- Keep stream water out of your eyes, ears, mouth, or any open sores. If your children are too young to understand these precautions please avoid contact with streams.
- Wading and exploring is ok, but the water in streams is not suitable for swimming. To check out the best places for swimming in our region see www.gw.govt.nz...
How you can help:
- Report cracked or leaking pipes (and if you spot a leak on your own property organise for a plumber to check the pipes as soon as possible).
- Make sure rubbish is not left near streams including picking up dog poo.
- Only rain should go down the drain - empty detergents and paintbrush residue onto the lawn, or tip down the sink, not into drains leading to stormwater.
- Wash cars on the lawn, or at an approved carwash.
- Use non-toxic pesticides and fertilisers on your gardens.
- Reduce run-off by using porous landscaping, such as bark chips or lawn.

Hi neighbours,
Have you seen the plans for the expressway? The route for Ōtaki to the north of Levin expressway has been revealed to some residents who were sent letters. To read more, click here.

Have you seen the plans for the expressway? The route for Ōtaki to the north of Levin expressway has been revealed to some residents who were sent letters. To read more, click here.
The preferred route runs closest to State Highway 1 and closest to SH57 further north. On the New Zealand Transport Agency's maps, the route is a combination of section S6 and N4.
Manakau resident Peter Staples is one of the farm owners whose property will be affected by the current plans. He said he was glad a decision had finally been made.
So, what are your thoughts on the expressway plans? Do you think the NZTA has chosen the best route? Are you a landowner who will be affected by this? Share your thoughts with us in the replies below!
