Boil water notice issued for 2000 homes in east Christchurch

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Two thousand households in parts of Bexley, Shirley, Wainoni and New Brighton need to boil their water after traces of E coli were found in the water supply.

All water used in these areas for drinking, food preparation, utensil washing, brushing teeth or making ice should be boiled until further notice.

A council spokeswoman says three days of clear counts have to be recorded before the boil water notice can be lifted.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
