Piha Beach

Water Quality Results

Are Piha's Lagoon and Beach safe to swim in or are they polluted?  An important question especially when we take our babes and youngsters to Piha to paddle or swim.  Here are the historical and current 'official' water quality results.  These results are from Waitakere City Council's website and may be checked HERE

31/8/09 I asked WCC for the data on water quality testing results at Moana Stream, South Piha.  WCC also did some testing up Sylvan Glade and Beach Valley Road to try to identify where the pollution is coming from.  Here is where they took the samples and the results.

Where the took the samples in Sylvan Glade and Beach Valley Rd {1251kb]pdf  These locations relate to the figures in the lower part of this table below.  WCC only tested once, 8/4/09
