We understand it is frustrating for you not knowing when the boil water notice will be lifted. Even though tests have shown water is free from E.Coli, the boil water notice remains in place while we wait for residual chlorine to flush from the water supply network.

Once that is confirmed, we need clear results over three consecutive days to confirm the treatment has been fully successful. It is important we follow this process in conjunction with the Medical Officer of Health.

For sale, my Razer BlackWidow Chroma gaming keyboard. Purchased new in 2015 from EB Games, but only used for 2 months so in very good 100% working condition.

If you're looking for a fast responsive gaming deck, with awesome customisable per key RGB backlighting, this might be for you. It uses Razer's excellent green 'clicky' keyswitches (not the quieter 'orange' stealth ones). Other features include a USB passthru port, audio jacks. The lighting configuration is done via intuitive software, and can create all kinds of cool effects.

Comes with original box, all supplied documents, including a link to download drivers and lighting configuration software.
