A notice was first issued on Friday after low-level contamination was discovered in two bores which supply water to urban residents. The E.coli reading received by the council today is only slightly above the acceptable level for New Zealand drinking water standards. "We're doing everything we can to identify the source, and we will hold the boil water notice in place until we're confident we've done this and eliminated the low-level E. coli bacteria."
