Pongaroa residents issued with boil water notice
Tararua District Council has issued a boil water notice for Pongaroa.
A council spokesman said it was a proactive measure. No contamination has been detected, but chlorine levels in the town's water system were very low.
The council expects it to take a few days before the chlorine levels in the system returned to the right level. Once that happens, the notice will be reassessed. An update will be available on Monday.
Until further notice, residents are advised to boil water before drinking it, making ice, food preparation and brushing teeth.
People with severely compromised immune systems, infants, and pregnant women may be particularly at risk. The council says people in those categories should check with their doctors about drinking the water. Read more here

Slow Woven Textile Studio Open Day
Hi Neighbours! I am a weaver and fibre artist who works with natural fibres to create beautiful, one-off pieces inspired by the native plant life of Aotearoa.
Join me in my Ashhurst studio next Sunday, the 4th of January, for the Slow Woven Textile Studio monthly open day. You can learn about weaving, enjoy demonstrations and even weave your own cute and colourful mug rug to take home for free.
I share the studio with my dad, rural artist Graham Christensen, and his work will also be on display.
Sunday 4th of January, Open 10am-4pm
84 Glenburn Road, (off Napier Rd) Ashhurst.
Please note that number 84 is at the very end of Glenburn Road - so wind your way up the hill and it's at the very top.
The studio is open to the public on the first Sunday of each month.
