This weekend on The Nation...

As Havelock North recovers from the largest outbreak of water-borne illness in New Zealand in 30 years, Lisa Owen asks Hastings mayor Lawrence Yule how it happened and if the Council did enough to keep people safe.

And how do we stop something like this happening again? We ask Massey University's ecology senior lecturer Mike Joy.
