Sir Edmund Hillary was quoted with saying: "I think it all comes down to motivation. If you really want to do something, you will work hard for it."

This statement best applies to some incredible Canterbury village residents who walked the Godley Head Track on a chilly Christchurch morning.

The inter-village walk saw residents from Charles Upham and Ngaio Marsh villages walk together up, down and along the peninsula track.

Anthony Wilding residents’ van took a slight detour along Summit Road, so this group of walkers arranged to meet at a point along the track.

I'm in Ensors road near Ferry road. He visits the area quite often.
I'm not sure that he's a stray. But suspect he is.
Note: I'm just checking to see if he has a home before I look at getting him to the vet to scan for a chip.
He won't be easy to catch as quite nervy of humans. I have 4 cats of my own which would need to be inside when I would try to catch him. Plus working long hours at the moment. So at this stage, just trying to hopefully hear he has a home.

Council plans to become class 1 water supplier, bypass treatment rules

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Christchurch’s water supply technically leaves 170,000 people at risk of exposure to protozoa, but the city council’s head of Three Waters says residents shouldn’t worry and it has a plan.

Christchurch’s water supply technically leaves 170,000 people at risk of exposure to protozoa, but the city council’s head of Three Waters says residents shouldn’t worry and it has a plan.

The latest update comes as mayor Phil Mauger says a representative from Taumata Arowai, the national water regulator, has agreed to attend an upcoming Christchurch City Council meeting.

Brent Smith, the council’s head of Three Waters, said instead of putting protozoa treatment barriers into its water supply (as requested by Taumatua Arowai, following the recent cryptosporidium outbreak in Queenstown), the council planned to become a class 1 supplier. Reaching the threshold of class 1 status was not achievable for all of the council’s water sources, but could be for most, he said.

Most of Christchurch’s water comes from aquifers (an underground water source). If the city drew that water from a depth of 30m or more, it could meet the water regulator’s class 1 requirements and would not require a UV treatment barrier.
