The boil water notice for the Methven-Springfield water supply has been lifted after three consecutive days of clear results.

Previously, residents connected to this supply were advised to boil their drinking water, and water used in food preparation and hygiene purposes for at least one minute before consumption.

That was due to high turbidity arising from the heavy rainfall event in late November affecting the UV treatment system.

The Council is currently constructing a new water treatment plant in Methven which will remove the need for boil water notices in the future.
