Canterbury DHB’s Community and Public Health unit has
issued a health warning for the Waiau River at Waiau
Bridge.
The warning follows the finding of moderate to
high cover of potentially toxic algae (benthic
cyanobacteria) in the Waiau River at Waiau
Bridge.
People should avoid the area and animals,
particularly dogs, should not be allowed near the water
until the health warning has been lifted.
There are
also other access points along the Waiau River that may have
benthic cyanobacteria present. People are advised to treat
every low-flowing river cautiously, check for the presence
of benthic cyanobacteria and avoid contact.

We wouldn t be where we are today without the support we received from the rest of the country.
Now we re at a point where we re ready and able to contribute to the country in a way that is befitting our status as the second-largest urban centre in the country.
