Soaring lead levels in the water at Waikouaiti, Karitane and Hawksbury -- have prompted a no-drink notice and blood tests for locals.
Southern DHB's Medical Officer of Health, Dr Susan Jack, says more than 50 people have been tested in a free clinic this afternoon, which is open until 5pm.
She says tests take two to three days.
