Elevated arsenic levels found in Waikato water supplies

Arsenic levels new
Huka Falls, Waikato River.

Testing has revealed elevated arsenic levels in drinking water supplied by Waipā District Council and Waikato District Council, joining Hamilton City Council in reporting similar results earlier this week.

All three water suppliers source water from the Waikato River, which has shown slightly higher levels of the toxic metal.

The Water Services Authority and local councils have assured the public that the situation is “under control”, with treatment adjustments underway to lower the levels. Experts say the water remains safe to drink and poses minimal health risks over a short-term exposure.

Auckland’s Watercare, which also draws from the Waikato River, reported arsenic levels well within acceptable standards and has taken proactive measures, such as reducing production at its Waikato treatment plant.

Other councils, including Waipā and Waikato District, are making operational changes to improve water treatment.

Regional testing of the Waikato River continues, with authorities closely monitoring and collaborating to ensure water quality remains safe for consumption and use.

  1. Look at that link to the ‘water services authority’ and you’ll see instantly that that authority is full of its own te reo PC BS.
    For a start, a public service that calls itself ‘authority’, yet does not have a clue how the arsenic gets into the water! And then has the ‘authority’ to tell us that “the situation is under control”.
    Bureau-crazy drank too much of their own water? Nice one!

  2. The corporate state and toxic heavy metals just seem attracted to one another, an affinity if you will. One ongoing state experiment with many “treatment adjustments” along the way, to get the recipe of killing us softly just so.

  3. Arsenic is a PFAS forever chemical.i am sceptical that Chlorine is being used as a binder. Chlorine is typically a steriliser not a binder. Arsenic is a heavy metal so I do not believe the MSM reports. They sound like they are simply trying to stop people being alarmed. Fact is, arsenic is a poison and people shouldn’t be DRINKING it.

    Where’s the EPA? Environmental Protection Agency – Pfffffffft what a joke. Where’s the ministry of environment? Pfffffffft what a joke.

    Glad I don’t live in Hamilton or Auckland.

  4. Arsenic at any level is still…ARSENIC!…and is unacceptable!
    Then, we have (wait for it….wait for it…)- FLUORIDE AND FLUORINE!!
    The same additive’ that is used in rat poison and also used in vast amounts to keep the prisoners calm, sedated and easy to manage in the Nazi Death Camps (private corporations, BTW…NGO’s) before their ‘final solution shower’.
    People need to invest in a Big Berkey, Alexa-Pure, etc with the PF-2 filters that remove fluoride, arsenic, and heavy metals.
    Rest assured that in 2025 the PTB Zionist Death Cult will be adding narcotics to the water supplies…just like what happened in the ghettos in the U.S. in the 1960’s.
    If you can’t get your Zoloft, Prozac, Clonopin, etc. due to a shortage, then just go and drink some of that wonderful treated Council Tap Water to get your daily dosage, provided that the excess of chlorine doesn’t burn the roof of your mouth…!
    The sharks that have ingested the floating cocaine-packages off the coast of Florida have also been swimming in ‘treated sewage’ that gets pumped thru pipes 3 miles from the coast, and contain anti-depressants, SSRI’s etc.
    Thus, the sharks are both coked-up and swim about in a depressed state…
