Watercare on Auckland boil water notice

from Checkpoint

Watercare suspects a tap might be the cause of a positive E coli test that prompted a boil water notice across several Auckland neighbourhoods. The notice, which is still in force, covers about 7,500 households and businesses in the suburbs of Hillsborough, Mt Roskill, Royal Oak and Three Kings. It was issued after routine water samples showed E coli contamination. Watercare Chief Operations Officer Mark Bourne spoke to Lisa Owen.
