Poll: Have you seen any dead fish at the lake?
Authorities are investigating a sudden die-off of fish in Lake Te Koo Utu, where about 200 dead fish have been collected over the past week.
Waipā District Council teams began removing the fish last week, recovering 90 in just two days. Since then, another 110 have been pulled from the centre of the lake, prompting concerns over water quality and the potential impact on local wildlife.
