Rangitikei District Council has installed a filtered water tap in Marton following the town's ongoing water issues.
The new installment is at the Marton War Memorial Hall on Wellington Rd and is free for the community to use.
"Due to Council's water source at this time of the year there are taste and odour issues in the Marton drinking water from algae, the water is still safe to drink but can taste and smell unpleasant," executive office manager Carol Gordon said.
Gordon said people were welcome to bring their own containers to the facility and fill them up, with no limit to the amount they can take.
Gordon said the taps operate on a time delay so when the tap is pressed it runs for approximately seven seconds.
