南地议员无视煮水通知, 面对潜在健康风险的批评。 Southland Councillor ignores boil water notice, faces criticism over potential health risk.

南部地区议员德里克·张伯伦 （Derek Chamberlain） 因不顾当地开水通知而没有烧开自来水而受到批评，因为洪水可能会造成污染。 Southland Councillor Derek Chamberlain is facing criticism for not boiling his tap water despite a local boil water notice due to potential contamination from floodwater. 该通知自2024年7月以来发出,将保留到处理厂升级为止,可能到2027年。 The notice, issued since July 2024, is set to remain until the treatment plant is upgraded, likely by 2027. 但水监管者警告说, 水仍可能含有有害病原体, Chamberlain argues there's "nothing wrong" with the water, but the water regulator warns that it could still contain harmful pathogens.
