More properties are underwater and a city is completely cut off - as the rain continues to pummel the lower south island. Flooding, slips and holes forming on SH 1 have made driving trecherous - and impossible in or out of Dunedin, which is expected to remain cut off overnight. People have been told to evacuate their homes in Waikouaiti and homes are flooded in Karitane, both north of Dunedin. The worst is yet to come - Metservice said there will be a second rain peak and a jump intensity. Dunedin Civil Defence Controller Chris Henderson and Dunedin Resident Pauline van der Byl spoke to Lisa Owen.

Trying to feed a fussy eater can make even the most confident parent feel like they're failing. But (and hopefully this comforts you) it's actually very common. Some fussiness can be a normal part of child development. Dr Preeya chats to Alex Fili, accredited practicing dietician (working with Karitane in NSW) and mother of fussy eaters (not dragons). Preeya and Alex provide practical tips on preventing and managing fussy eating (if it happens to rear its head in your home) whilst also sharing their own tumultuous journeys with their kids and food. Lots of practical takeaways and reassurance - just what the fatigued soul dealing with fussy eating needs. The discussions in this podcast are general in nature and do not replace the need for you to see a qualified health professional for any concerns you may have.  Guest: Alex Fili, Accredited Practicing Dietician Links:  Parenting Tips for Toddlers from Karitane NSW ⁠https://karitane.com.au/stores/_sharedfiles/Brochures/Digital_Toddlers_Brochure_V2_(19Aug22)_Karitane.pdf⁠ Eat for Health recommended serves for chilfren, adolescents and toddlers ⁠https://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/food-essentials/how-much-do-we-need-each-day/recommended-number-serves-children-adolescents-and-toddlers⁠  Instagram: ⁠@doctor.preeya.alexander⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @themummawellnessjourney Books: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Eat, Sleep, Play, Love⁠⁠⁠ by Dr Preeya Alexander⁠ Preeya's new book ⁠Full Plate⁠ is out now!

A review of the health response to East Otago's lead contamination scare is now sitting with the Director-General of Health, but he won't yet make it public. The settlements of Waikouaiti, Karitane and Hawksbury Village are still getting drinking water from tankers, months after concerning levels of lead were discovered in the local supply. Otago-Southland reporter Timothy Brown reports.

Hundreds of Otago residents from Waikouaiti, Karitane and Hawksbury Village packed into a public meeting on Wednesday night only to be told it will be months before they'll be able to drink water from their taps again. They also may never know what caused the lead contamination. A no drink notice has been in force since early February and will remain in place until old pipes with lead fittings are removed, which could take until June. Reporter Tim Brown was at the meeting. He spoke to Corin Dann.

Hundreds of Otago residents in Waikouaiti, Karitane and Hawksbury Village have been told it'll be months before they'll be able to drink tap water again and they may never know what caused the lead contamination. A no drink notice has been in force since early last month and will remain in place until old pipes with lead fittings are removed which could take until June. At a packed meeting in Waikouaiti last night they were told there is no long term health risk. Waikouaiti Coast Community Board member Andy Barratt spoke to Susie Ferguson.

Otago residents from Waikouaiti, Karitane and Hawksbury Village attended a community meeting on Wednesday to be told it will be months before they'll be able to drink tap water again and they may never know what caused the lead contamination. Locals were told not to drink the water in early February. The warning will stay in place until old pipes with lead fittings are removed, which could take until June. Dr Susan Jack, the medical officer of health for Southern DHB, spoke to Corin Dann.

East Otago residents will tonight find out what, if anything, authorities have learnt about the lead contamination of their water supply. The communities of Waikouaiti, Hawksbury Village and Karitane are still waiting for answers five weeks after the Dunedin City Council revealed it had known about a contaminated water supply for six months. Otago-Southland reporter Timothy Brown has more.

Mayor Aaron Hawkins - Karitane and Waikouaiti water, national reform of water services, coastal plan

Unsafe lead levels have been found in the blood of East Otago-based children.It was revealed earlier in the month unsafe levels of lead had been discovered in the southern towns of Karitane and Waikouaiti. The levels go back to as early as July 2020.Back in 2017, a Government inquiry found 20 per cent of the country's tap water was not up to standard, with as many as 750,000 New Zealanders exposed to drinking water that was not safe.Water New Zealand is the industry body for the three water sector - drinking water, waste water and storm water.Water NZ Technical Manager Noel Roberts told Kerre McIvor the main problem is resources."Both people capability and funds, and stretched between multiple needs for funding, especially from rates.A Beca report says New Zealand needs to look at desalination and purifying of waste water. Mr Roberts says the level of expertise required is not cheap, and there are not many individuals around the country who can do it."That's sort of why the DIA is looking at the three waters reform and what the options are there."

Otago's Medical Officer of Health is trying to calm speculation after news East Otago children are among those showing high lead levels in their blood.Tests last night showed unsafe elevations in a small number of people after the water contamination scare in Waikouaiti, Karitane and Hawksbury.Dr Susan Jack says of the 1400 people tested, only a few results had higher readings.She says there's been a lot of speculation - but it's not as simple as reporting back raw results.Jack says people should avoid drawing conclusions.Those calls are being echoed by Waikouaiti Coast Community Board chair Alasdair Morrison, who says we should wait until the full picture is built.He told Heather du Plessis-Allan a blood test in isolation doesn't tell a heck of a lot."You have add other things to it to see what people have been doing, and if there are kiddies involved, have they been playing with this, that and the next thing."Morrison says there's a public meeting in March where health authorities will present a report.LISTEN ABOVE 

Unsafe lead levels have been detected in children's blood tests in east Otago. This following a contamination scare which has resulted in a do not drink notice and emergency water tankers. Dunedin City Council says it may now be months before the notice is lifted for the residents of Waikouaiti, Karitane and Hawksbury Village. Timothy Brown went along to last night's Waikouaiti Coast Community Board meeting.

Yesterday morning, I thought I’d start my programme with another call to rationalise or even nationalise our water and wastewater operations. This is prompted by situations facing Waikouaiti, Karitane and Turnberry who have now been joined by Akaroa.  Towns whose basic necessity, water, has been poisoned by lead and opossums.  They join a long line of shameful water management including our capital. If the government wants a shovel ready infrastructure project to get their teeth into then fixing the nation’s water supply should be at the top of the list. But that was yesterday. Today we’re back in lockdowns.  Called faster than ever before, which caused a strange pandemonium. I have a great sympathy for all the Cafes and hospitality businesses, who suddenly had just minutes to hours to sort their stock out.  Frantically trying to save food before being forced to throw it all out and the money it represents. But I understand the need for health services to crack on.  I’ve always found it strange that having decided a lockdown was necessary we delayed the lockdown for days.  It’s not like the virus takes any time off.  It’s always working 24/7. What I don’t understand is the panicked exodus to baches that occurred. I understand that lockdown is better at the beach but what part of Stay Safe Stay Local do the beachgoers not understand?Are they aware that the locals hate the invasion because of the pressure already basic medical services and supply chains for smaller supermarkets?  Do they not understand that they could be just like the woman at the centre of this current cluster who felt she didn’t have the virus.  That meant she felt free to ravel.  That meant she could have introduced the cluster to New Plymouth. Anyone of the bach refugees could be introducing the virus to retired populations in Pauanui, Whitianga, Keri Keri or Mangawhai. Are the bach refugees also aware of the disdain they’re held in by the people whose businesses are forced to shut down in lcokdowns? Their sacrifices are being ignored.  The exodus completely negates the purpose of lockdowns to halt spread, when Aucklanders are spreading themselves all over the island. Finally, we have a vivid example of why you should scan the codes.  The woman at the centre of this cluster thought she was sweet and took a roadie to Taranaki and neglected to scan.  Leaving the good people in New Plymouth in a state of suspended existence waiting for the worst. Will she be able to remember the places she went in a town she is unfamiliar with? Was it so hard to spend five seconds to hold a phone up to a QR code?

Dunedin City Council continues to hunt for the source of the lead contamination spikes in drinking water test results from east Otago, and it has started a project to replace 5km of old pipes. It has been 10 days since Waikouaiti, Karitane and Hawksbury were told to stop drinking their tap water, after results from December showed one lead contamination result 40 times the acceptable level. Checkpoint contacted other districts around Aotearoa to find out if Otago's drinking water scare has pushed others to test more frequently.

An East Otago mother has been left confused and concerned as blood test results start to roll in after a lead contamination testing blitz. It's been more than a week since residents in Waikouaiti, Karitane and Hawksbury Village were told not to drink or cook with their tap water. Since then, hundreds of people have been tested at the free community blood testing clinic which opened on Tuesday with some part-time and former residents also requesting tests. Tess Brunton has more.

Extra clinics are being set up to meet demand for blood tests after lead was detected in the drinking water of two Otago towns. Free blood tests for chronic lead exposure began on Tuesday for Waikouaiti and Karitane residents. People in the East Otago towns were told not to drink the tap water after lead was detected in the reservoir, including one test in December that found lead levels were more than 40 times the maximum. Dr Susan Jack is the Southern DHB's Medical Officer of Health.

A community clinic has been providing lead testing for residents of Waikouaiti, Karitane and Hawkesbury Village in East Otago since Tuesday, as the Dunedin City Council continues to look for the source of lead contamination in the communities' drinking water. Karyn speaks with Waikouaiti Community Board Chair, Alisdair Morrison, about daily life nine days after residents were first told not to drink or cook with their tap water.

Initial tests show no lead contamination in the Waikouaiti River, but there are still more results to come and the Otago Regional Council has ramped up surveillance. The river feeds the reservoir, which has tested positive for high levels of lead. Otago Regional Council [ORC] is working with Dunedin City Council [DCC] on the response. ORC chief executive Sarah Gardner told Checkpoint it is responsible for drinking water at source.

The recent lead contamination scare in east Otago has raised the question, how safe are New Zealanders with their drinking water? The technical manager at industry group Water NZ says he would not drink what comes out of the tap in some areas of the country. Waikouaiti and Karitane are currently being offered free blood tests after Dunedin City Council eventually revealed there had been serious but intermittent spikes in lead levels in their drinking water in late 2020. One result was 40 times the acceptable level. The council has no idea what has caused the contamination, but it is now replacing about 4km of old cast iron pipes in the network that have lead joins. Water NZ is the industry body for the Three Waters sector - drinking water, wastewater and stormwater - with more than 2,300 members including water technicians, researchers and consultants. The group's technical manager Noel Roberts told Checkpoint lead can exist in older pipes that are still used in New Zealand.  

The government has ordered an urgent review into health officials' response to lead being discovered in the water supply of two Otago towns. Karitane and Waikouaiti residents still can't drink from their taps - a week after the Dunedin City Council revealed lead levels had been spiking for months. Locals are worried and angry - 282 turned up for free blood tests yesterday to see if they've been affected. Now the Director General of Health alongside independent experts will see if things could have been handled better. Sally Murphy reports.

The government is seeking an urgent review of the public health response to water contamination in two Otago towns. Last week, the Dunedin City Council told residents of Karitane and Waikouaiti to stop drinking water from their taps due to high lead levels in the local supply. The source of the contamination has not yet been identified, nor is it known when spikes in lead concentration began. Susie Ferguson spoke to Associate Minister of Health Dr Ayesha Verrall.

East Otago residents have been getting tested for lead poisoning today, after discovering their water supply was contaminated. Last Tuesday, residents in Waikouaiti and Karitane were first told about high levels of lead in their water supply. But another community in the area says they have had no contact from the Dunedin City Council and there's been a string of revelations over the past seven days, giving them cause for concern. In response to those concerns from residents the Dunedin City Council says staff have door-knocked every Hawkesbury Village residence. RNZ's Dom Thomas and Tess Brunton are in Waikouaiti and filed this report.

Blood testing starts today for residents of two Otago towns which have had high readings of lead in their water supplies. People in Waikouaiti and Karitane were first told about high levels of lead in their water supply last week. One sample taken in December showed lead levels 40 times over the allowable limit and new test results will be available today. Waikouaiti Coast Community Board chair, Alasdair Morrison told RNZ reporter Sally Murphy they're not sure how many people will turn out at the East Otago Events centre for blood tests.

Residents of of Karitane and Waikouaiti will be offered blood tests for chronic lead exposure from Tuesday afternoon. People in the East Otago towns were told not to drink the tap water after lead was detected in the reservoir, including one test in December that found lead levels were more than 40 times the maximum. Dr Susan Jack is the Southern District Health Board medical officer of health. She speaks to Corin Dann.

A packed crowd at the East Otago Events Centre wanted answers from officials about the effect of lead in the water at Waikouaiti and Karitane.Whether they feel they got them is less certain.Hundreds of people flowed into the centre in Waikouaiti ahead of last night's meeting. There was standing room only at the venue and people lined the walls.The meeting was called by Public Health South.Residents wanted to know if they should eat vegetables from their gardens and if it was safe for animals to drink the water. They wanted to know if eggs from the area were safe.These were not areas of expertise for the panel, but they suggested people avoid harvesting their vegetables for a couple of weeks until more was known.National Poisons Centre director and medical toxicologist Adam Pomerleau said everybody had lead present in their bodies from background exposure.It was a cumulative toxin."We aim to keep lead exposure as low as we can."Restlessness simmered through the crowd.Otago Regional Council chairman Andrew Noone said the panel of officials and council representatives sensed residents' frustration.When he asked people to look forward, rather than back, the crowd murmured."Your reassurance doesn't mean much," one person said."We're pretty bloody angry about the whole situation," another said.One resident said it was disconcerting that information from officials kept changing."Many of us lack trust in what is being said to us."Karitane residents such as Jane Schofield wanted tanks tested.Dunedin Mayor Aaron Hawkins said the city council was committed to supporting the community and focused on getting to the bottom of the problem."I appreciate that this is a distressing time," he said.DCC infrastructure services committee chairman Cr Jim O'Malley, a scientist, said the council had taken samples since July to assess the integrity of pipes and possible corrosion.An elevated level of lead was immediately evident at one site.O'Malley said a high reading from a December 8 sample — a result sent to the council on December 18 but not noticed until January 7 when a staff member returned from leave — was followed by results that were not of concern."What we think we're looking at is what might be best described as a pulse," he said.It appeared that the water was fine most of the time, he said.But results were unpredictable and it was therefore considered not safe to allow drinking of the water to continue.The council has stepped up the frequency of sampling.Towns around the country did not test for heavy metals frequently, O'Malley said.Jack said it was unclear from intermittent spikes in lead readings whether there could have been significant exposure.Babies, children and pregnant women were most at risk to the effects of lead exposure, Jack said.ESR (the Crown Research Institute) has concluded the risk of lead exposure through the Waikouaiti drinking water system is likely to be low.It was not known yet whether there had been long-term exposure, Jack said. "The thing with children we are concerned about is long-term development."Blood tests of lead levels would shape understanding about whether there had been long-term exposure.Symptoms of elevated lead levels in adults can include tiredness, mood changes, impaired memory, sleeplessness, irritability, headaches and joint pain.Gastrointestinal symptoms can include lack of appetite, nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, stomach pains and weight loss.Young children may not show symptoms, but lead exposure over time may affect their development.Lead in mothers can be passed on to unborn babies and to infants through breast milk. 

Prepare for a rude welcome - that's the message to Dunedin Mayor Aaron Hawkins ahead of a meeting about toxic levels of lead being found in the drinking water of two coastal Otago towns. People in Waikouaiti and Karitane were first told about high levels of lead in their water supply on Tuesday afternoon. But there has been revelation upon revelation since then. Dunedin City Council has confirmed the December test results sat in an unmonitored inbox for weeks. Toxic levels were first detected in the water back in August and one of the failed test results wasn't four times the allowable levels, it was almost 40 times. A public meeting is being held tonight to discuss the health impacts of lead exposure, what officials know about the possible exposure so far and lead level blood testing clinics for next week. Tess Brunton has been speaking to people in Waikouaiti and filed this story.

Residents in the two east Otago towns affected by the water issue will be offered blood tests from next week. Authorities are still trying to pin down the source of the elevated lead levels in the water supply of Waikouaiti and Karitane. At the same time, Dunedin City Council and Southern DHB are pointing the finger at each other over who made the call not to alert the public immediately. The council's admitted the first test showing elevated levels of lead came in August - but the public, councillors and even the mayor of Dunedin only found out on Tuesday when a no-drink notice was issued. Timothy Brown has more.

A Karitane mother has already taken her baby for lead testing because she's so worried about the unsafe levels in the water she's been feeding the child. Residents were last night told the supply was forty times the acceptable amount, not four times like they were initially informed. A public meeting will be held tonight in East Otago as health officials look to reassure locals. Karitane mother Ashleigh Thompson told RNZ reporter Eleisha Foon she's trying not to dwell on the unknown, but is waiting for results.

Residents of Waikouaiti and Karitane say they are afraid for the health of their families after levels of lead in the local water supply were found to be 40 times the safe amount. That level of contamination is ten times worse than Dunedin City Council originally claimed earlier this week. The Ministry of Health has announced that blood-lead testing will be offered to locals from next week. Eleisha Foon spoke to local residents.

Residents of two coastal towns will be offered blood tests next week after unacceptable levels of lead was found in the water.  Waikouaiti and Karitane residents were told to stop drinking tap water earlier this week due to lead found to be more than four times the acceptable level. Dunedin City Council revealed yesterday the lead was actually 40 times the acceptable level. Southern District Health Board's Medical Officer of Health Dr Susan Jack speaks to Susie Ferguson.

Residents of Waikouaiti and Karitane say they are nervous and scared for their families after testing revealed water levels for lead were at times found to be 40 times the safe amount. That level of contamination is 10 times worse than Dunedin City Council originally claimed earlier this week. The medical officer of health will be at a public meeting tonight and the Ministry of Health is offering blood testing from next week. Andy Barratt, from the Waikouaiti Coast Community Board and Jazhr Hansen a mum of three from Karitane speak to Susie Ferguson.

The Dunedin City Council has resorted to putting a helicopter in the sky as it scrambles to discover the source of lead poisoning to an East Otago water supply. Nearly six months after receiving the first positive test results, the council finally advised Waikouaiti and Karitane residents this week not to use tap water. Now some locals feel they are still being kept in the dark about how dangerous the poisoning could be. Anan Zaki reports.

Residents in two East Otago towns are frustrated they do not know when they can drink water out of their taps and not a tanker. Yesterday people in Waikouaiti and Karitane were told to stop drinking, cooking and preparing food using tap water due to toxic levels of lead. The levels were discovered in mid-December but the alert went to a Dunedin City Council staff member who was on holiday and they weren't picked up until the new year. While many are resigned to their new water collection, frustration and anger is bubbling away over communication delays that left residents in the dark for weeks. Tess Brunton has been speaking to residents and filed this report from Karitane.

Residents in two coastal Otago towns have been warned not to drink the water after lead was discovered in it in December. A missed email means people living in Karitane and Waikouaiti have only now been told to avoid drinking or preparing food with their tap water. Dunedin mayor Aaron Hawkins speaks to Susie Ferguson.

Residents of the Otago towns of Waikouaiti and Karitane won't be drinking the tap water for at least the next few days. Samples taken in early December found nearly four times the safe amount of lead in part of the water supply, although a missed e-mail meant that nobody at the council was aware of the problem until the New Year. Reporter Tess Brunton is Waikouaiti.

Residents of the Otago towns of Waikouaiti and Karitane won't be drinking the tap water for at least the next few days. Samples taken in early December found nearly four times the safe amount of lead in part of the water supply, although a missed e-mail meant that nobody at the council was aware of the problem until the New Year. Doctor Susan Jack is the medical officer of health for the Southern District Health Board.

Residents in two coastal towns near Dunedin are being warned not to drink their tap water due to lead contamination. The water in Waikouaiti and Karitane is not fit to drink, cook or prepare food with until further notice. In the meantime water tankers are on the way. Dunedin City council's Three Waters group manager Tom Dyer joins Lisa Owen with the details.

Are you a new mum with painful, sore, nipples that feel like a needle is stabbing? If so you may be suffering from the all too common mastitis. An inflammation of the breast nipple and tissue. It's definitely not fun to experience and can even bring on serious illness if the infection spreads or you have a severe form of it so see your doctor stat! (one mother literally today, Oct 16th, was in hospital for days on an IV drip for this. Then came in for additional antibiotics. It's a tough condition to beat) It's estimated 30% of women by week 6 postpartum will experience a sub-acute or acute form of mastitis. This % increases with mothers who've been on antibiotics for GBS+ (Group B Strep Infection) or C-section "Caesar" mothers. Now don't feel bad about yourself if you're going through this, it's not a reflection on you or of you. Many others have been through this and pulled through. I'm hoping to bring some value to your time today by sharing what I learned. Mastitis happens when there is a stasis (lack of movement) of milk, a blocked duct, or an overgrowth of bacteria, or unfortunately sometimes your baby isn't latching on quite well to suckle out enough milk (Professional help available at Tresilian and Karitane for mothers in Sydney, Australia) Finally if you're on the fence about the benefits of probiotics and whether that course of antibiotics given during your labor or C-section is to be balanced by probiotics, I give you permission to start! The benefits of the small investment in some probiotic capsules far outweigh the negatives of delaying and include: incomplete maturation of your baby's immune system, increased colic in your baby, increase risk for atopic conditions in your baby: eczema, hay fever, asthma) and on and on. ----------------------------------- Home Deliveries to the Inner West Sydney from $10, save the number: (02) 8068 7131 ----------------------------------- Shop Online for delivery or Click’n’Collect now LIVE https://canterburylatenightpharmacy.orderup.com.au/ ----------------------------------- Also find us at: Instagram: instagram.com/thecornerchemist Twitter: twitter.com/canterburylnp Facebook: facebook.com/canterburylatenight Website/Blog: canterburylatenightpharmacy.com.au/blogs/ ----------------------------------- --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thehealthtuneup/message
