Toxic algae has been found in the Waipoua River
Toxic algae has been found in the Waipoua River in the stretch that runs through Masterton between Paierau Road and the Ruamahanga. At the moment it is not at alert levels, but with fine weather forecast over the coming week Greater Wellington is expecting a larger bloom.
Toxic algae can quickly kill if swallowed even in small amounts (coin sized). Please keep a close eye on babies and toddlers and keep dogs on a leash when walking by the river. Greater Wellington will be monitoring popular swimming spots weekly throughout the summer. We will alert the public whenever there is cause for concern.
