Roxburgh and Lake Roxburgh Village were put on boil water notices at 5.30pm yesterday, while Alexandra was added to the list at 11am today. The announcements were made after tests showed water supply to those towns potentially contained harmful micro-organisms. Residents and visitors in these areas should bring tap water to a full rolling boil, let it boil for one minute and then let it cool before using. "We ask you to make sure you are boiling all water used for drinking, food preparation and cooking, and cleaning your teeth until further notice," a council spokeswoman said.
