Swimming alert at Fitzroy Beach
Please don’t swim or gather food at Fitzroy Beach.
Testing of the water at the beach by Taranaki Regional Council on 9 December returned elevated levels of the potentially-harmful bacteria.
We’re sorry this will inconvenience people hoping to spend the weekend at Fitzroy Beach.
Check our Can I Swim page for information on other beaches.
NPDC is cleaning up a sewage overflow in the car park of Warehouse Stationery on Devon Street West.
The incident was reported shortly before 2pm today.
Council staff are investigating where the blockage has occurred in the sewer network so that it can be cleared away. No sewage has entered the stormwater system.
We are investing $248m over 10 years to fix the district’s plumbing.
