Emergency water bladders, with multiple tap stations, will stay in place until the town water supply is confirmed clear.
Following confirmation of a positive, low result for E. coli for the water sample taken near the reservoir, the Council is focusing its efforts on chlorine disinfection of the reservoir and, as a precaution, the area of the system adjacent to it.
Before this disinfection process takes place, Council is making every effort to contact the property owners connected to the supply in the area east of Todds Rd. Council contractors are issuing a notice door to door with instructions about the water being unavailable from 12-5pm while the flushing takes place.

All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.
The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.
They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.
What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?

Better still, they’re a snap to make, especially if you have ready-grated tasty and parmesan cheese from Mainland in the fridge.
For the more adventurous eaters, finish each muffin with a little wedge of Brie, Noble or Blue cheese. You might not be able to resist sneaking a couple for your own lunch!
