Something very nasty in the water, at a popular Auckland beach
Something very nasty in the water, at a popular Auckland beach
20 January 2019
Okahu Bay has been given a rare black water safety rating...warning swimmers they face a 'very high risk of illness'.
It points to direct contamination from human wastewater.
But people have still been seen using the swimming spot - over a one-hour period almost 20 people were observed taking a dip.
One beachgoer said he'd assumed it was safe to swim because there were no signs telling the public otherwise.
