In 2022, the Christchurch City Council applied to Taumata Arowai for chlorine exemptions, but on Tuesday was told these will fail.
Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger said he and fellow councillors were “outraged” and described it as the council being “forced to chlorinate our water supply.”
To be exempt from chlorination, the council would need to make substantial and expensive upgrades to its water supply network, according to a council statement.
“[E]ven then, it may not be possible,” it said.

What you need to know:
- The product is called Large $20 Acacia Serving Tray and was sold nationally.
- The product may be infested with Lyctus africanus (also known as the African powderpost beetle), a species not present in New Zealand.
- Kmart are no longer selling these products and will wait for instruction from MPI before destroying these.
Anyone who finds a suspected exotic pest is encouraged to call MPI’s hotline on 0800 80 99 66.

They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.
They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
And they may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.
Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility.
