Boil Water Notice lifted for Point Howard

Wellington Water advises that the Boil Water Notice for Point Howard has been lifted.

The public network has been flushed and tested. Residents supplied by a privately owned water tank should undertake flushing - this is important before use.

Returning Point Howard residents who vacated their property during the week, should run a cold tap to flush their pipes and any appliances e.g., coffee machines, which are connected to the water supply.

Hot water cylinders and header tanks may need to be drained and refilled.

Wellington Water thanks all residents for their patience and co-operation this past week.
