Media advisory – Raglan Harbour given all clear

Waikato District Council has given the all clear for recreational activities and shellfish collecting in the Raglan Harbour following last month’s wastewater pump overflow.

Over recent weeks staff have been monitoring the estuary quality levels to ensure there was no health risk to the public and had advised the community not to collect seafood or fish in the area until lab results indicated a safe level of toxins.

Waikato Regional Council has received a full report into the overflow believed to have been caused by a blockage in the wastewater system.
