Moa Flat - Aluminium Advisory

Council reminds consumers that an aluminium advisory is in place for people on the Moa Flat rural water scheme.

About the advisory

An advisory is in place after a drinking water sample has returned results with an aluminium level exceeding the drinking water standard of 1mg/L.

The most recent exceedance had reading of 2.48 mg/l on 13 Sept 2024 at Moa Flat Edievale Rd.

This advisory will remain in place for at least 4 weeks from this date. We require one month of sample results below the drinking water standard before we will lift the aluminium advisory and it usually takes 10-14 working days for samples to be tested and results provided.

The advice received is that no health effects would be expected at these levels of aluminium exposure, even if water was consumed over extended periods of time. This includes effects for people with kidney disease, infants, and children.
