Bore water was 'no health threat'

Woy Woy South Public School principal Mr Terry Greedy has assured parents that bore water used for the school's Wipeout activity poses no health threat.

Responding to parents' concerns, Mr Greedy said the school had an independent assessment of the water quality carried out by the Central Coast Public Health Unit.

The results indicated that the water quality was high and bacterial content was low enough to make the water suitable for drinking, he said.

However, he said that, despite the results, it was emphasised to students that the water was not for drinking.
