Tests positive, so warnings continue
Thursday, 1 December 2005, 3:32 pm
Press Release: Kapiti Coast District Council
Tests for blue-green algae toxins in the Waikanae and Otaki
rivers have
shown traces and tests on samples of the
algae itself have shown clearer
signs that cyanotoxins
are present.
However, the levels are very low.
We
continue to warn people on the Kapiti Coast to refrain from
swimming
in the rivers and to make sure animals and
children are kept under
control and out of the
river.
We will be placing some warning signs at the
entrance to the most
popular park and recreational areas
alongside the Waikanae River before
this
weekend.
