Cleaning of the reservoir is taking longer than expected. Re-testing on the supply is now expected to take place from Monday 11 February through Tuesday and Wednesday, with the possibility of the Boil Water Notice being lifted towards the end of next week.
In the meantime, consumers on the Reefton Water Supply are still required to boil all drinking water and water used for food preparation until further notice.
Council will continue to update water supply consumers with expected timeframes and appreciates residents’ cooperation during this time.
