Coastal areas of Christchurch have been the worst affected by water

All Christchurch residents are advised to continue to:

* Boil all drinking water for three minutes
* Be aware that rivers are contaminated
* If you have water supply it is OK to flush the toilet

latrine by using a bucket lined with a bin liner of a plastic bag for
solids. This can be buried or flushed at a later time.
