An investigation has found Cardrona's wastewater service is the likely culprit in a norovirus outbreak that hit the snow resort town last month.

Over a 15 day period 66 people went down with the nasty bug.

After a boil water notice was put in place no new cases have been reported.

Public health officials say sampling shows the norovirus is likely to have come from wastewater systems in the area.
