This follows two separate boil water notices issued earlier this year when Martinborough town water supply tested positive for E. coli.
Chlorination is included in a multi-barrier approach to protecting drinking water supplies across New Zealand, including all other Wairarapa towns, as recommended following the Havelock North water crisis.
The current chlorination arrangements are temporary because the town is being supplied by only one bore, the one with the lowest levels of manganese. The addition of chorine to water with high levels of naturally occurring manganese can discolour the water.
South Wairarapa District Council Chief Executive Harry Wilson says, “Protecting public health and the resilience of the town’s water supply is our highest priority. Removing the manganese allows for permanent chlorination, which is the most tried and tested measure to ensure safe drinking water.
