We do not need chlorine treatment or expensive U.V. treatment plants - the council could save ratepayers millions of dollars if they follow what Christchurch is doing.
If Christchurch can go chlorine-free so can we - our aquifer is better than theirs.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
