E. Coli Contamination Prompts Boil Water Notice in Brockley

Swimmers are advised to exercise caution at specific locations in New Zealand, including the Manuherikia River and Lake Dunstan, due to elevated E. Coli levels. Testing conducted by Land and Water Aotearoa revealed E. Coli levels of 350 MPN/100ml, exceeding the safe threshold of 250. Meanwhile, Thames Water has reported an isolated case of E. Coli contamination in a single property in Brockley, South East London, prompting a boil water advisory for the affected household. Testing of surrounding homes showed no further contamination, and Thames Water reassured residents that the wider water supply remains safe. The contamination at the Brockley property is believed to be linked to internal plumbing issues rather than the main water supply. Residents have expressed concerns about testing access and the response from Thames Water amidst this health scare.
