Update: Samples collected from Acacia Bay, further sampling tomorrow - Lake Taupo
13 December 2017
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.
