The spokesman said the target to restore power is four hours, so the back-up system had worked. In its draft long-term plan, the council has budgeted for an overflow storage tank that would prevent similar future incidents. The council did not alert news media of the spill, and neither did it post about it on Facebook. However, NPDC said it had followed standard procedure and notified key partners: iwi, the Taranaki District Health Board, and recreational users. Warning signs were also erected. Details were also posted in two places on the council’s website, including the homepage, with details also added to the Where Can I Swim? section.
