The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy is working with agriculture operators to reduce the risks of liquid manure overflow.

Those who use the wells will need to do an assessment to determine whether their water is safe.

Residents are also reminded not to enter the flood zone unless emergency management officials have indicated that it is okay. Everyone must respect evacuation orders.
