Lake Hayes

After a couple of years' respite, the algal bloom which plagued Lake Hayes for many years has returned.

Water restrictions are now in force for users on the Lake Hayes Scheme, and roadside signs have been installed to inform residents. The restrictions apply to residents of Lake Hayes Estate, Ladies Mile, the Arrowtown-Lake Hayes Rd and Speargrass Flat Rd.

Volunteers of all ages took to the track at Lake Hayes to extend the existing Lake Hayes Project Gold site on a clear and crisp morning in late April.

The Arrowtown and Lake Hayes water supply areas were amended by the Queenstown Lakes District Council's infrastructure services committee at a meeting in Wanaka last week.
