Lead levels in water: Blood test results ease fears in East Otago

Lead levels in water: Blood test results ease fears in East Otago © RNZ / Tess Brunton East Otago residents are a good way down the track in emerging from a crisis that saw a string of high lead level readings in their drinking water, their medical officer of health says. Hundreds of residents in Waikouaiti, Karitane and Hawksbury Village have been told it will be months before they will be able to drink tap water again and they may never know what caused the lead contamination. A no drink notice has been in force since early last month and will remain in place until old pipes with lead fittings are removed which could take until June.

East Otago water supply public meeting delayed

Waikouaiti River, Otago. Photo: Google Maps A no-drink notice remains in effect in Waikouaiti, Karitane and Hawksbury Village after concerning levels of lead have been detected in the area s water supply over the past seven months. The highest level recorded was almost 40 times the acceptable limit. The vast majority of the area s about 1500 residents have been tested for blood-lead levels as a result. RNZ revealed last month some people had returned blood-lead levels above the internationally-accepted safe level, including children. An earlier public meeting on the lead in the water supply attracted hundreds of people. The Dunedin City Council said this Friday s planned meeting had been postponed due to Covid-19 restrictions.
