Water race disruptions
Due to flood conditions in the Rakaia and Waimakariri Rivers, disruptions and loss of supply are expected across all Selwyn water race schemes over the next 48 hours.
Malvern – disruptions likely due to outage at the Waimakariri Gorge intake.
Ellesmere – disruptions likely across all of the scheme due to outage at Early’s intake and Lower Rakaia intake.
Paparua – disruptions likely due to outage at Paparua intake.
Operators are working to restore the intakes, but as river levels drop further outages are likely.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
