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.

The treatment plant was upgraded to meet new, higher treatment standards and provide extra safety for the drinking water. Status: Completed.

This upgrade included increased automation of the treatment plant to be able to monitor and control the plant remotely, installing duty and standby trains for redundancy and the addition of filters and ultraviolet disinfection units.

Due to the additional equipment, the treatment plant building was required to be increased in size.
