Test results on Lower Hutt’s water supply all clear
Follow-up tests taken after a positive result from a water sample taken on Friday, show no e-coli in the water.
At this stage the testing laboratory is unable to confirm what caused the initial positive result at the inlet point of Naenae Reservoir on Friday 3 February. Wellington Water will continue investigating possible sources of contamination.
Chlorination of the water supply to all of Lower Hutt will continue until we have completed a full review of test results. This is to ensure we are taking the safest course of action. We’ll provide further updates on the review process tomorrow.
Regional Public Health are satisfied with the measures put in place to ensure the water is safe and there is no need to boil it before drinking.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
