However, based on progress up to Tuesday, more than 150,000 water users will have to put up with chlorinated water until at least the end of June, when an ultra-violet treatment plant is due to be commissioned.
Council water supply improvement programme manager Helen Beaumont says the council has not yet "given up on the May target" for taking chlorine out of the city's water supply.

On Thursday it was Hanmer Forest in North Canterbury that topped the temperature charts, with a stifling maximum of 38.4 degrees Celsius, according to the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research.
That was the hottest temperature there since records began in 1906, the fourth-equal highest temperature for January of anywhere in New Zealand, and the hottest temperature of this summer so far.
But while most of the country has sweltered over the past five days, the hot spell experienced by many has actually fallen short of official heatwave status.

‘’Update on our delightful duo, now 4 months old, Salem and Luna we adopted 26th Nov. Oh gosh I dont even know where to start lol Salem plays fetch with poms poms, he loves to be held like a baby and smooches faces with an open mouth lol Luna is the explorer, first to do anything with no fear, she was the first to jump into the fridge, first to climb the massive 12 foot tree I have in my yard, terrifying me lol she loves early morning cuddles, like 2am cuddles lol if walking she lyes on your foot smooching n flopping around like a fish. I no longer have net curtains or plants but I the renovations thanks to the kitty crew are totally worth it. They get along fabulously with my wee dog Pickles and are just adored by my daughter Paige n I. They've enriched our lives so much ❤
My parents also adopted a brother n sister from Cat Rescue 5 years ago 😊 my two are completely different he is in your face for loves and wants them whenever where as she is only on her terms and when she wants loves most affectionate wee girl. He has dog traits such as fetch n is clumsy, she is 100% tree climbing, bug hunting feline n so delicate plus very sneaky. They're hilarious and we waste so much time watching them. Hard to think we've only had them in our world for only two months cos we've loved them for a life time ‘’
