I was at a public meeting this week with Programme Manager of Water Supply Improvement Helen Beaumont (also attended by the Mayor and CEO of the CCC).
Helen encouraged reporting to council if residents are experiencing a strong chlorine taste in their water. (details below on how to report)

These reports will help create a 'heat map' which can be used by council
"On top of our ongoing work to reduce the impact of the chlorination, as well as flushing pipes to remove the natural organic matter that causes the smell and taste, we are managing the dose level and reducing it where we have been given approval to do so."

To report to council,
you can use the app Snap Send Solve

After debate around whether Matariki should become a public holiday, ACT leader David Seymour said he was "open" to public holidays being scrapped in New Zealand - well, all but Anzac and Waitangi.

He says people should be able to make their own holiday arrangements, rather than the Government telling us when to take the day off.
