WHAT IS MYCOPLASMA BOVIS
• Mycoplasma bovis causes illness in cattle including mastitis, abortion, pneumonia, and arthritis.
• Silent spreaders – cows can be infected but not ill.
• It does not infect humans and is not a food safety risk.
• It occurs commonly in most cattle producing countries around the world.
• Difficult disease to detect – it hides.

Septic tanks are a potential source of faecal contamination to flood waters and it is possible for surface water to travel down the outer casing of a bore into groundwater.
If your drinking water supply is from a bore and there was flood water around the borehead, then there is a risk that your bore water might be contaminated. If this is the case then please boil your water before drinking and have your water tested to confirm whether your water supply is safe.
Rotorua Lakes Council's laboratory can test your drinking water to determine the presence of Ecoli, which is an indicator of faecal contamination, free of charge to those affected by the storm. To arrange a sample, collect a bottle from the lab at the Wastewater Treatment Plant off Te Ngae Road or contact Council on 07 348 4199 for more information.
