Auckland Suburbs Issued Boil Water Notice Until Further Notice

Watercare has issued a boil water notice for several Auckland suburbs after routine water sample testing detected traces of E. Coli.

The directive requires residents in the affected areas to boil tap water before using it for drinking, cleaning teeth, and food preparation.

The alert was triggered following routine monitoring of the water supply, which identified the presence of the bacteria. Watercare has not yet specified the exact cause of the contamination or the total number of suburbs impacted by the notice.

The restriction remains in effect until further notice.
