Did you know?

Silverstream Subdivision

Did you know there was a 4ft high tsunami in 1868 that forced the bar of the Waimakariri river mouth to move almost 2 kilometres north? The tsunami was caused by an 8.5 earthquake in Arica, then part of Peru 🌊⁠

Christchurch residents restricted to watering gardens on alternate days

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

The Christchurch City Council has imposed water restrictions to ensure there is enough water for firefighting, after residents used an average of 400 litres each on Wednesday.

Under level one restrictions, residents at odd-numbered addresses can use their hoses, sprinklers, and garden irrigation systems before 3pm or after 9pm on odd dates, with residents at even-numbered addresses doing so on even dates.

“Watering gardens and lawns using irrigation systems, hoses and sprinklers is the real challenge - washing the car using a bucket, using a watering can in the garden, or filling a small paddling pool, on any day, is fine under level one restrictions," head of three waters Helen Beaumont says.

Level two water restrictions were introduced last month in Akaroa, Duvauchelle and Takamatua on Banks Peninsula, as the streams that supply drinking water to those towns had been especially low.

Lynda McKenzie has spent 16 years creating an “eco-sanctuary” at her Christchurch social housing complex.

But now she is devastated that the council could destroy her refuge – and says she is happy she won’t be around to see it chopped back.

McKenzie, who is terminally ill, has planted numerous trees around the 24-unit St Albans complex over the years, and residents now regularly see fantails, bellbirds and wood pigeons in their garden.

But last week, the property’s 24 tenants received a letter from Christchurch City Council telling them it was starting work imminently to remove some trees and heavily prune others.

What do you think should happen to McKenzie's "eco-sanctuary"?
