No spill worries

It was shown that there is no danger to the Raetihi water supply. The Community Board was pleased to know the . chemical had dispersed, although John Compton questioned whether this would mean that it is
now "designated as a hazardous waste disposal area." Don Sattler assured him that this was not so, the nearest dump being Hunterville. A report from the Environmental Health Officer on an old chemical spillage at Horopito was received by the Waimarino Community Board and it was agreed that no further action will be taken.
