KEY POINTS:
Levin residents are being told they will have to boil their drinking water for at least another two days as heavy rainfall continues to cause havoc in the area.
The Horowhenua District Council has issued a boil water notice for those residents in Levin, and properties in the surrounding rural areas on town water supply.
Council spokeswoman Colleen Sheldon says heavy rainfall is adversely affecting the performance of the water treatment plant supplying these areas.
She says there is a small risk new water entering the system could be contaminated, and residents should boil their water for drinking and cooking.
The notice takes effect until further notice.
