A wastewater overflow has entered Lake Whakatipu along part of the Frankton Arm near Goldfield Heights. The issue was resolved within five minutes of the overflow occurring, but warning signage has been erected on the lakefront in the affected area. Water quality testing is underway and signage will be removed once clear results are returned.

Water is not an endless resource.  We need to work together to make every drop count.  By using water wisely we are more likely to avoid water restrictions and make sure there's enough water for everyone.
