Where to put a ski lane?

Ian Allen Reporter from Marlborough Express

Ngakuta Bay is getting its ski lane back. And Pelorus Sound might be getting a new one. But are any of the ski lanes in the Sounds pretty pointless? And where would be a better place for one?

The Marlborough District Council has issued a public statement its website warning people in Marlborough to run their taps in the morning to prevent metal contamination.

All standard procedure though, nothing to be alarmed about, said council operations and maintenance engineer Stephen Rooney. The council statement said water supplies in Blenheim, Picton, Renwick, Havelock and the Wairau Valley were plumbosolvent, and therefore more likely to contain traces of metal.

The ministry said though the health risk was small, it recommended residents ran a mug-full of water from the drinking tap each morning before use, to remove metals that might have accumulated overnight.
