HI neighbours,

Many of you may be wondering if this impacts you.

The South Waikato District Council have just put out the below statement.
"We can confirm from our infrastructure and maintenance department that there is no danger to South Waikato urban residents and their water supply.
“While there are concerns that the spill is travelling north into the Waikato River, SWDC can assure residents that our urban water comes from secure bores with the exception of the Blue Spring – which comes from the Waihou catchment and is not connected to the Waikato River,” said Assets Group Manager Ted Anderson.
“Our water goes through the process of microfiltration and UV disinfection. In addition, chlorine is added.”

There would continue to be constant monitoring of the risk, he said.

Lime stones

Karen from Te Awamutu

I have some lime stones that I want to sell. No longer want anymore, so I need them gone. If anyone wants them, come and have a look and see for yourself.
