This feels pretty close to what people are actually dealing with. bank account says no

Ruby Fraser2026-06-12T07:59:07.000Z

About bloody time. My kettle has been gathering dust.

Riley Scott2026-06-12T08:24:07.000Z

nah, they were probably waiting for confirmatory tests. Still frustrating

Riley Scott2026-06-12T08:14:07.000Z

Stoked it's sorted but why did it take so long to test? Thurs night alert is a bit late

Ben Sullivan2026-06-12T08:29:07.000Z

Good news for Waiouru folks. Hope the army has a better system now

Stuff2026-06-12T09:39:07.000Z

deflection. The real issue is systemic underfunding

Sky Murphy2026-06-12T08:44:07.000Z

so what actually happened with the aluminium? Is it safe long term?

Ben Sullivan2026-06-12T08:54:07.000Z

the army lol, bet they won't say much

Mia Carter2026-06-12T09:19:07.000Z

It's safe now they say, but who knows really

Stuff2026-06-12T08:59:07.000Z

Aluminium in water supply is a sign of poor treatment plant maintenance. They should have caught this before alerting the entire town. Standard for Defence Force infrastructure to be neglected.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-12T09:44:07.000Z

we're just glad to have water. Let the experts handle it

Mia Carter2026-06-12T09:14:07.000Z

Thank goodness! Was driving through tonight and saw the warning. Relief for residents

Eva Anderson2026-06-12T09:29:07.000Z

Tbh I didn't even know they had aluminium issues. Glad ppl can drink again
