Return to school update

12pm Tuesday 7 October 2025 

The boil water notice for properties in north-east Hamilton has been lifted as of 12pm today and the water is safe to drink.

Hamilton City Council has had three days of water tests that are clear of E. coli from the Rototuna reservoir and other sampling sites around the city.  

This means drinking water for properties in Rototuna, Flagstaff, and parts of Queenwood in Hamilton, and Gordonton and Puketaha in Waikato District, no longer needs to be boiled for any purpose.  

For Waikato Waldorf School this means that school will be open on Wednesday (tomorrow) as usual.

Thank you for your support during this challenging event.
