A total of 170,000 people in Christchurch are potentially at risk of bacteria in drinking water, as regulator Taumata Arowai races to identify councils without protozoa barriers on their water supplies in the wake of Queenstown’s cryptosporidium outbreak.
Taumata Arowai on Thursday sent letters to 27 councils, telling them to lock in plans - and money - to fix their drinking water supplies by June.
Most of the councils are in the South Island. Christchurch has the largest potentially at-risk population, the regulator said, with about 170,000 people drinking from supplies in part fed from wells less than 30 metres deep.
These appear to be in the Ferrymead water supply zone, which also feeds the Lyttelton Harbour basin (nearly 23,000 people), and the central water supply zone (supplying about 158,000 people).
However, Christchurch City Council has so far been confident the health risk is low. It said it was unlikely people would get water from only the shallow wells, because it mixed with water from other sources first.

Here’s what you need to know about the candidates running to be Waimakariri’s MP. (By reporter Keiller MacDuff).
The relatively young electorate of Waimakariri was created in 1996 ahead of the first MMP electorate from parts of the old Rangiora and Christchurch North electorates, and includes the rural towns of Oxford, Rangiora, Kaiapoi and Pegasus.
Former Labour Prime Minister Mike Moore represented the area three times - first when it was the Papanui electorate from 1978-81, then Christchurch North from 1984-87, and finally Waimakariri from 1996-99.
He was succeeded by Labour’s Clayton Cosgrove, the longest-serving Waimakariri MP, who lost the seat in 2011 to National’s Kate Wilkinson, the first and only woman to represent Waimakariri, from 2011 to 2014.
National party MP Matt Doocey won the electorate in 2014, and has held it ever since.
In the 2014 boundary review, Waimakariri lost much of Redwood to Christchurch Central and Marshland to the Christchurch East electorate.
The red tide of 2020 saw the Waimakariri party vote join the swing to Labour. In 2017, the National Party won 53% of the party vote, compared to Labour’s 32%. Three years later, Labour took 49% to National’s 28%.
Sitting MP Doocey is National’s senior whip, the South Island’s top-ranked National MP (#8 on the list), party spokesperson on youth, mental health and suicide prevention, and associate health spokesperson.
Labour MP Dan Rosewarne (#32 on his party’s list) entered Parliament in June 2022, following the resignation of Kris Faafoi.
The former army officer who lives in Woodend lost to Doocey in 2020 by one of the smallest margins in the country (1507 votes).
ACT’s candidate Ross Campbell (#43 on the the party list) lives in Rangiora and is pledging to “help the people in my little piece of the world”.
Deputy leader of Democracy NZ Gordon Malcolm, the anti-mandate party formed by ex-National Party MP Matt King, is promising to open an inquiry into the Waimakariri District Council’s property purchases, reject co-governance, and stand up to “climate change hysteria”.
Former leader of the New Conservative party Leighton Baker is making his sixth attempt for an electorate, albeit with a brand new party, the eponymous Leighton Baker Party.
Turnout in 2020 was 87.5% - compared to national enrolled voter turnout of 81.5%.
The Waimakariri district’s population has passed 66,000 and is on track to top 78,000 by 2031.
An influx of residents following the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes saw rapid growth in the past decade.
One of the most monocultural electorates in New Zealand - second only to Rodney in the proportion of European residents (91.2%) - Māori (8.7%) and Asian (4.5%) populations are about half and one-third the national averages respectively, and it has the second lowest Pasifika population (1.5%) in the country.
Waimakariri has the highest proportion of homeowners in New Zealand, with nearly two-thirds (65.8%) of households in the electorate owning or partly owning their own home.
The three major employing industries are construction (14.3%), manufacturing (11.5%) and retail (10.6%).

Ladder shelves are very affordable and take up minimal room. They’re perfect for rolled towels and accessories that can live on the bottom shelves with more important products on the top.
Utilise the back of the bathroom door to hide towels, swimsuits and bathrobes by using some hanging hooks.

The original debate was scheduled to take place this week, with Labour’s Chris Hipkins and National’s Christopher Luxon. But Hipkins fell ill with Covid-19 on Tuesday, and Luxon said his schedule for the following week was too full to reschedule.
After postponing, The Press invited the leaders of every party tracking to return to Parliament to a debate next week.
Leaders of NZ First, the Greens, ACT and Te Pāti Māori have accepted.
They will face The Press and a crowd of more than 2000 people at the Christchurch Town Hall, on Tuesday, October 10. This will be the final power brokers debate before polling day.
Press editor Kamala Hayman said she was “thrilled” to be hosting the coalition parties in Christchurch next week, ahead of an election which was expected to give these minor parties far more power in Parliament.
Hayman, as well as Stuff political editor Luke Malpass and Stuff chief political correspondent Tova O’Brien would host the debate.
It would be streamed live on Stuff as well, from 7pm on Tuesday.
