as well as ensuring public awareness of the impacts of
stormwater on recreational water quality particularly after a rain event. In the coastal water, where most
people are likely to bathe, counts were well within ‘Surveillance’ mode (MfE, 2003; Table 3). The health risk
overall, was therefore considered to be low.
The addition of groundwater monitoring to the 2023/24 programme allows the Council to track impacts to
groundwater quality from the WWTP. In the first year, groundwater samples

occurs via a steel pipe access culvert. The tributary flows approximately 600 m before joining the Kurapete
Stream upstream of the Everett Road Bridge. In an emergency (e.g., during a sustained heavy rain event),
Ponds B and C are bypassed as water is pumped directly from Pond A to Pond D where it travels through
the system to Pond F. Contouring and bunding of the site directs stormwater to Ponds
