Confirmation of the reason for water charge

Gordon from Halswell

This is the section from the draft plan 23/24 and states
"A change to our Excess Water Supply Targeted Rate
The main reason we've introduced the Excess Water Supply Targeted Rate(external link) to help reduce the extreme demand on our water supply network at certain times, particularly over summer. If we can do this, it means we won't have to spend as much money upgrading and building new infrastructure to cope with the extreme demand".
It is not to save the overall usage of water for the rest of the year.
This is not to recoup the extra costs as the system can not pump more than 100%. The water pressure would drop and need restrictions that would apply to everyone, even without meters. Totally fair and very few costs involved, eg meter readings, sending out accounts, receiving payments, disputes over charges anon.
what was wrong with the old system and why was this raised at all?
The way I see it, they have just created a whole costly system to be paid for by the money they are collecting for the scheme. IMO

Poll: Should we scrap daylight saving?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Sunday we'll be putting our clocks back for the end of daylight saving. Despite the benefits of an extra hour of sun during daylight saving, these clock changes commonly bring disruptions to our households and sleep - some feel that it should be scrapped altogether. What do you think?

Hello neighbors!

My family owns and operates an Indian supermarket located at the heart of Christchurch (Bombay Bazaar), which is right next to another local business - a Mediterranean supermarket (The Mediterranean Food Company).

A few months ago we got talking and this led to us collaborating to organise a free community event dedicated to sharing our love for Indian and Mediterranean cuisine and culture with others. A first for New Zealand, our 'India meets the Mediterranean' food festival will take place on Sunday, 2nd April at 322/328 Tuam Street from 10am-4pm.

We have sourced outstanding (some even award-winning) chefs from our local community to run open-air cooking demonstrations throughout the day, all of them have migrated away from their home country but continue to stay connected to their roots through their passion for food.

We will also be offering free store tours to those interested in learning about the unique (and potentially unfamiliar) ingredients we offer at our stores and how to use them in their day-to-day meals. There will be free food tastings at both stores, a selection of local food trucks/stalls, and market stalls (clothing, jewelry, henna). We have also invited local artists for live music/entertainment.

A lot of time and effort has been put into organising this event and we are so excited to play a small part in helping bridge the cultural gap between locals and those from other parts of the world such as India and the Mediterranean.

It would be awesome to see our community show support for this event, please come along and bring friends and family!
