Duvauchelle water supply update

The Team from Christchurch City Council

Duvauchelle gets its water from Pipers Stream and, once treated, it is stored in a reservoir. When it rains a lot, the stream can become very dirty and our ability to use it is reduced until the water clears.

Depending on how much you use, there is a chance the reservoir may run out.

Duvauchelle gets its water from Pipers Stream and, once treated, it is stored in a reservoir. When it rains a lot, the stream can become very dirty and our ability to use it is reduced until the water clears.

Depending on how much you use, there is a chance the reservoir may run out.

What you can do to help:
• Keep water use to essentials – food preparation and hygiene;

• Cut back your shower time;

• Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth;

• Avoid watering lawns and gardens;

• Don’t hose your boat or other water craft. If you must clean it, scrub it with bucket of water.

It would help us if you could share this information with your neighbours.
If you would like more information, call us on 941 8999 or 0800 800 169.

I'm sure not eating as much sugar is a noble pursuit, but we want to see goals which better your whole community (not just your waistline).
We really want to know because we want to share your resolutions this year so that at the end of it we can check back in and see how it went. How you made a difference in your community.
Let us know your Community Resolution by emailing matthew.salmons@fairfaxmedia.co.nz and we'll be in touch.

In the past year, four Grand Designs NZ homes have come onto the market, but not all of them have sold. Now one owner has spoken out about how being on the show could work against the sellers.
