Rotorua residents are being advised not to swim or play in Lake Rotorua after a wastewater leak.
A leak in a wastewater main near the Parawai Rd pump station on Tuesday night is being blamed for the incident.
It is thought around 80 cubic metres of wastewater may have entered the lake, Rotorua Lake Council said.
