Water quality advisory: Eastern Beaches
Last night
the wastewater pumping station at Orakei was affected by
yesterday’s power failure in East Auckland causing
overflows, which are likely to affect the water quality at
Okahu Bay and Mission Bay.
Auckland City
Council’s environmental health team has posted signs at
the beaches advising people not to swim at the
beaches.
The council conducted water quality
testing last night and is awaiting the results. More water
quality tests were conducted this morning.
The
council is advising people not to swim in these areas until
tomorrow afternoon which will be 48 hours after the overflow
occurred.
Please visit Auckland City Council’s website
for more
information.
