Waipapa residents are being urged to boil their water before drinking it at least until Monday afternoon. The boil water notice applies to homes and businesses connected to the council water supply on SH10, Waipapa Loop Rd, Maritime Ln, Klinac Ln, Kahikatearoa Ln, Mawson Ave, Puriri Park Ln, Waitotara Dr and Waipapa Rd between Waitotara Dr and SH10. With chlorine back up to normal levels the boil water notice was largely a precaution — though people should still take it seriously, he said. That meant the boil water notice would be in place at least until Monday afternoon, Finch said. The boil water notice applies to water used for drinking and ice, food preparation, oral hygiene and pets.
