Drinking water safe to drink

Update: 15 November 2016, 2pm

Our drinking water is safe to drink and there is no need to boil it (unless you are making a cup of tea of course!).

The earthquake did cause some discolouration of water for some residents; this should have cleared by now, so if you do still have dirty water, please let your city council know.
