Samples have been collected from Acacia Bay for testing for toxin-producing algae species, but weather has hampered monitoring work at other sites at Lake Taupo today.
Choppy water at five of six sites prevented Waikato Regional Council staff, with the assistance of Taupō District Council, from collecting viable samples.
However, some of the regional council's environmental monitoring team will base themselves in Taupō tonight to enable them to carry out further sampling at first light, if the weather is favourable. If not, council staff will collect samples at the first available opportunity, or on Friday as scheduled, as we understand the urgency of these results to the Taupō community.

We have recently moved to Taupō and know how expensive cardboard boxes are.
Rather than just dispose of ours we wondered if any one wants a houselot of moving boxes and some soft wrap?
We will flatten for ease of collection.
These are just some of them.
