	Description:		A well known Auckland cafe was forced to take an unwanted, all day, coffee break after E coli was found in the water supply to several suburbs in the city, prompting a boil water notice. The notice covers about 7,500 households and businesses in the suburbs of Hillsborough, Mt Roskill, Royal Oak and Three Kings, after a routine water sample showed contamination. Tap water in the suburbs needs to be boiled for drinking, cleaning teeth, making ice, washing dishes, and preparing food until further notice. Watercare has also set up several water tankers in the area. The notice meant Hillsborough's Hill House Cafe had to shut for the day, co-owner Peter Matvos spoke to Lisa Owen.
