Sampling Continues
The water treatment plant has been 'making water' for some time now, but the final allclear is yet to be given. Before the water can be deemed safe to drink without boiling the town's reticulation system peeds to be flushed. Initially problems occurred in certain streets in the town where there were dips in the main, such as in Arawa Street. District engineer Don Sattler said the council will test water at the ends of a selection of lines, three times a week for three months to monitor the system. Samples will be sent to Palmerston North and
Wellington for testing for bacteria, colour and turbidity, as well as giardia and cryptospuridium. Ski comparison A water monitoring system is currently being installed at Salt Lake City by the contractors involved in the Ohakune project. After a presentation on the merits of the Lester Abbey system, discussion centred on the merits of skiing at Salt Lake City versus Ohakune. It was generally agreed skiing was better in Ohakune, in August, but better in Salt Lake City in February!
