Keep up the great work on this Crux. This is exactly why we need an independent news organisation such as yourself here in the Central Lakes region. We have such a fragile environment up here which needs to be protected. QLDC has been caught napping on this.

Well in many quarters not releasing data means there is something embarrassing in the data!

Tell you what Crux - you lead an effort to crowd source funding for independent monitoring of outlets from the Shotover plant and Pure Wanaka - this is a piece of cake for a eco tech monitoring firm. I'll start with $250.

Thanks Andrew - we’ll take this idea forward on Tuesday 👍 and will stay in touch re progress. Is there a local testing company you are aware of? Peter Newport

Not hard or expensive to get an independent water quantity sample

Tested.

Contact a reputable company and ask for their process & sterile sample Jars.

Follow the instructions precisely & get test done - anybody has that right to test any water body they wish to pay for.

That way you get a time dated result either way.
