Boul Water Notice Lifted

Mike Gibbs from Avondale Neighbours Group

Boil Water Notice Lifted
Boil water notice lifted for all in the Rawhiti water supply zone

The boil water notice for the Rawhiti water supply zone in east Christchurch has been lifted.

Residents in New Brighton and parts of Shirley, Bexley, Burwood, Avondale and Aranui no longer need to boil their water.

The move follows discussions with the Drinking Water Assessor and the Medical Officer of Health.

A boil water notice was issued on Saturday morning after laboratory tests of water samples taken from the Keyes pump station in Rawhiti Domain detected the presence of e-coli.

However, extensive flushing of the water supply network has now ensured that any potentially contaminated water has been eliminated.

Water sampling over the past three days has found no evidence of e-coli

Staff will continue to monitor the water quality over the Christmas-New Year period.

The Keyes pump station will remain isolated from the network during further investigation.

While the station is offline, people in this area are being asked not to water their gardens except during times of low water demand. Please use hand held hoses and only water gardens before 7am and/or after 9pm. This will help ensure that there is sufficient water for everyone and also maintain network pressure.

Please share this information with friends and family and neighbours in east Christchurch.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
