Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
No shellfish gathering in Waipu Estuary area of Bream Bay
No shellfish gathering in Waipu Estuary area of Bream Bay for 28 days
Members of the public are advised not to gather shellfish from the Waipu Estuary and Bream Bay one kilometer either side of the mouth of the estuary for the next 28 days.
A broken sewer main near McLean’s bridge has spilled up to 40 cubic metres of sewage into a nearby paddock and stream flowing into the Waipu River. The break has now been repaired.
People are advised not to enter the water in the estuary or the Bay 1km either side of the River mouth area for two days, and to follow sensible hygiene precautions if coming into contact with the water.
Wet fish in the estuary should not be caught and eaten for the next two days.
