The Christchurch City Council planned to upgrade 102 wells within a year, then dechlorinate the city's water supply – but there are questions over whether any have yet been repaired to the standards required.

Councillors voted in January to chlorinate the city's water supply after experts warned of there was a low risk of contamination. The council authorised chlorination for up to 12 months while the work was done.

Work on at least 19 was meant to have been finished by now, but the city council has indicated that none have been completed yet.

Looking for a 10/10 perfect home for a 9 month old purebred male German Shepherd. NO CATS, NO SHEEP, NO MINIATURE HORSES.

This guy has a high, unpredictable prey drive with the above species and as such I would strongly recommend a home without them. He needs an experienced owner familiar with the requirements of the breed, this guy needs a job and he would excel at obedience and agility once skeletally mature. He is well-socialised with other dogs, fantastic with kids and has all his basic commands firmly in place when his prey drive isn't activated. Is housetrained and crate trained. I'm not rushing to re-home this guy, he needs the perfect forever home and I'm willing to wait for it if that's what needs to happen. If you would like to know more please PM me here. Thank you.
