Unsafe water source Whakaari 

Due to historic mining activities, high levels of arsenic and heavy metals may be present in the soil and streams in the Whakaari area. Filtering or boiling the stream water does not remove the contamination.

Visitors should not use the natural water sources for drinking, cooking, or washing based on current information available on the contamination.

Heather Jock, McIntyre and McIntosh huts may have water in their tanks for use, but this is not guaranteed. Carry all the water you need when you visit the site.
