The meters can send information about water use back to the council directly, which means staff will no longer need to visit a home to get a reading.
The new meters, which the council intends to eventually install across the city, also collect more data about water use and can provide readings over the course of the day.
The first installations in east Christchurch come as the city approaches its last summer before the introduction of an excess water use charge.
From July 2022, households using more than an average of 700 litres of water a day over a three-month period will be stung by the new charge. The average Christchurch household uses 540 litres per day. Continue reading here.

Make sure to update any manual clocks (don't forget about our older neighbours who might need a helping hand) and have a wonderful spring weekend!

This is a warranty replacement for our cooktop, but unfortunately this new model is slightly smaller than our previous model (which they no longer make) so our existing cut out in the bench is too big for it.
Features
An induction cooktop works by using magnetic energy to heat the pot or pan, put simply – the pot is the element. This 900mm frameless induction cooktop features 5 heating zones and touch controls not to mention an inbuilt timer and child lock function. This is the ultimate for the serious entertainer and beyond.
Specifications
Power Settings: 9
Hob Type: Induction
Control: Touch
Function: Timer
Heating Zones: 5 (min. 1200w - max. 2000w)
Cooking Area: Fixed (1 x 2000w, 2 x 1500w, 2 x 1200w)
Surface: Easy clean
Safety: Excessive heat protection
Heat Indicators: Yes
Child Lock: Yes
Power Supply: 32A electrical supply
Retail Price (priceme.co.nz 23.9.21) $1,269 - $1,499 (plus shipping for most retailers on the site). Also selling on TradeMe for $1,299 (plus shipping from Auckland).
Asking lowest price less GST = $1,100 (firm as we now need to buy a new induction cooktop that will fit the bench cut out with quality and warranty similar to Parmco)
Pickup is in Prebbleton

When 80-year-old Barry Souter landed his first job in a clothing store 64 years ago, the retail industry looked a lot different.
Customers were not able to browse the shelves but had to ask for clothes to be brought out from behind the counter. When a sale was made, Souter had to handwrite the sale docket. And stock-taking was very much a manual task.
But through all the changes, Souter has never stopped having fun. “It’s the people that make it. Human interaction is what keeps us all going.”
Souter’s first job was at Hallensteins in Dunedin when he was 16, and he worked for Munns in Christchurch for a long time before opening his own business in Bishopdale nearly a decade ago.

Silky Otter cinema in Wigram had a soft opening on July 31 and was just starting to build momentum when the level 4 lockdown took hold.
Silky Otter chief executive Neil Lambert said he hoped to hold an official gala for the new cinema around the opening of the new James Bond film No Time To Die on October 7.
The growing cinema chain is New Zealand owned and has a two-screen cinema in Auckland as well as the new Christchurch eight-screen. New cinemas are planned in Ponsonby in Auckland, Nelson and Queenstown.
