Residents of Waikouaiti and Karitane say they are afraid for the health of their families after levels of lead in the local water supply were found to be 40 times the safe amount.
That level of contamination is ten times worse than Dunedin City Council originally claimed earlier this week.
The Ministry of Health has announced that blood-lead testing will be offered to locals from next week.
Eleisha Foon spoke to local residents.
