Fox Glacier WTP commissioned
On Thursday 30th November the Boil Water Notice for Fox Glacier was lifted. The new Water Treatment Plant was successfully commissioned with water being produced for a couple of weeks before the notice was lifted. The new plant consists of membrane filtration with flocculation along with chlorination to meet the required parameters of the Drinking Water Quality Assurance Rules.
Flush your pipes
We’d like to remind people that if you are heading out to your bach or holiday home this summer you should run your taps for a few minutes before using the water. This is because residual water will sit in your pipes between uses, and it if has been there for a while the water can start to taste or smell funny, or chlorine (if on Council supply) can be more noticeable.
If you find that your water still has a funny taste or smell after a period of use, please contact us by submitting a service request or calling us on 0800 474 834.
