Watercare has set up two tankers in the area for the public to access if they are unable to boil water. There is a third that has been set up specifically to support a retirement village. The locations of the tankers are:
* 113 Duke Street, Big King Reserve
* Hillsborough Park Carpark, Carlton Street
People have been asked to bring clean containers to collect water from the tankers.
These locations will be kept open overnight and will be available until the issue is resolved.
