Would you be put off by a health warning at your local swimming spot?
Around 100 popular swimming locations across the country have been slapped with health warnings for the summer season this year.
Local councils reported long-term poor water quality due to the presence of algal blooms and high concentrations of sediment in popular swimming spots like Lake Rotorua, Waikanae Beach and Paraparaumu Beach. Some of these sites have had consistently low scoring that local councils have stopped monitoring them and have instead posted long-term warning signs against swimming.
Swimmers that ignore signs risk gastrointestinal illnesses and respiratory diseases from water made hazardous by farm runoff, sewage contamination and high bacteria counts.

Our 'Experience the Care Difference’ guide paints a picture of the care, kindness and comfort that our residents experience every day. It offers a comprehensive guide to rest home, hospital and specialist dementia care, as well as our serviced apartment options.

Council has already started road upgrades and resurfacing, making the most of the coming season of dryer weather and longer days. Major roading rehabilitation projects have also kicked off for the summer roadworks season with Council programming the complete rebuild of 6.3km of existing sealed road, including two major arterial roads, Mill, and RewaRewa. Almost $11.7 million will be invested in our sealed renewal network between now and 1 July next year.
