The quality of Amberley's drinking water will be improved when the district council sets up an extra water supply for the North Canterbury town.

The Hurunui District Council successfully secured consent to be able to take an additional 15 litres per second for Amberley's drinking water supply from a bore site on Racecourse Rd.

The water, which will remain chlorinated, will only come as far as Amberley though, meaning Leithfield will continue receiving water predominantly from the Leithfield Beach bore.
