Boil water notice not dampening holiday spirit in Queenstown

From Checkpoint, 5:48 pm on 25 September 2023

Queenstown hospitality venues are finding ways to deal with the boil water notice, as tourists stream in for the school holidays.

There have now been 31 confirmed cases of the cryptosporidium gastro bug among residents and visitors to the town in the past month.

The local health boss has admitted there'll be more that haven't been reported.

But businesses and tourists are making sure the boil water notice doesn't get in the way of a good holiday.
