The number of cases of cryptosporidium in Queenstown is now 18 and the district council has told media it is rushing to get a UV filter for one of its 2 mile water treatment plant.
But the mayor Glyn Lewers does not expect to have an action plan for that before the end of next week meaning a prolonged boil water notice for residents and businesses.
Crux managing editor Peter Newport was at the press conference. He joins Kathryn.

In an earlier version of this interview, there was reference made to Wānaka. To be absolutely clear there is no boiled water notice applying to Wānaka. The Queenstown Lakes District Council has a list of all suburbs under the boil water notice here.
