B00B00 170 Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 We stopped at mangonui but i didnt note if there was water or not sorry. The water bouy in whangaroa was fully functional when we were there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dtwo 106 Posted January 8 Author Report Share Posted January 8 Cheers but that Whangaroa water is not drinkable? I'd have to drink Heineken all day.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You poor thing! we have drunk it for years, certainly much cheaper than Heineken from the Kingfish Lodge Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The sign says non-potable though? Any experience with Mangonui Steve? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B00B00 170 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Everyone in our group drank the whangaroa water and had no issues. But we did put it though a filter. The same with the Russel water. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have taken water from Manganui, no problems, Whangaroa water is from a dammed creek, rather like the water from Smokehouse bay. Probably wouldn't pass some of the tests that are done these days. But having lived on tank water for 2/3's of my life I probably have very good protection from "bugs" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
