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.

Christchurch Central was once a safe Labour seat. But after devastating earthquakes, two terms of National, then two more of Labour, the results of the 2023 general election could reveal how stable the electorate is now.
The electorate — redrawn in 2014 due to the post-quake population shift — is an odd shape. It begins at the north end of the city along the Styx River Esplanade Reserve, flowing down Redwood, Mairehau and St Albans before meeting the CBD.
It jerks east to poach Phillipstown, swallows Sydenham, then forms leg-like shapes to take Beckenham and Ōpāwa, skipping over St Martins.
The electorate is young, with some of the highest proportions of 20 to 34-year-olds in the country (according to 2018 census data) but some of the lowest numbers of under 19s.
Its residents are both 2.6% more likely to have a bachelor degree and 1.9% more likely to have no qualifications compared to the rest of the country.
Overall they’re 3% more likely to be employed, with construction, healthcare and professional, scientific and technical services industries being the most common, as of the 2018 census. Those workers are also more likely to cycle to work than anywhere else in the country.
According to Electoral Commission data, the number of enrolled voters in the electorate has risen by 1060 since the 2020 election, for a total of 49,561 as of September 2023. However, the commission estimates about 12% of eligible voters have not yet enrolled.
Compared to other electorates, Christchurch’s ethnic make-up doesn’t stand out, but as of the 2018 census had 5.9% more people of European descent, and 6.8% fewer Māori, when compared to the New Zealand average.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, post-earthquakes, central residents were among the least likely in New Zealand to have lived in the same home for over five years. Nearly a third of residents lived alone, with only Auckland Central having more single-person households.
While it didn’t rank the worst for home ownership in the country, 59.2% of residents don’t own their own home, compared to the national average of 48.2% who don’t.
Christchurch Central was considered a safe Labour seat until 2011, when National Party’s Nicky Wagner won it by 47 votes. She won again in 2014, but in 2017 lost to Labour MP Duncan Webb by almost 3000 votes.
Webb, a former commercial lawyer, academic and post-quake insurance advocate, kept his seat in 2020, beating National candidate Dale Stephens by 14,000 votes.
Webb is currently the minister for state-owned enterprises and minister of commerce and consumer affairs and is ranked 20 on Labour’s party list.
Stephens, of Te Rarawa descent, has returned as National’s candidate this year. He is a former police officer and business leader, and is currently New Zealand Trade and Enterprise’s director of Māori Partnership.
At 29th on the list, he is National’s highest ranked candidate for a Christchurch electorate and may enter Parliament regardless of whether he secures Christchurch Central.
The Greens candidate is first timer Kahurangi Carter (Ngāti Maniapoto, Tainui), who currently works for the Ministry for the Environment and has a background in zero-waste advocacy.
Although a Greens candidate has only placed third in the electorate in the last two elections (winning 6.5% in 2020), with a list ranking of 14, Carter could land a spot in Parliament on the party’s list based on average polling results.
The remaining candidates are Matthew Fisken (ACT party), Mark Arneil (NZ First), Michael Britnell (Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party) and Sarah Jackson (Animal Justice Party).

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.
