Christchurch's chlorine-free drinking water target now end of July

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

It was May, then October, but now the Christchurch City Council hopes all residents will be able to enjoy a glass of chlorine-free water "most of the time" by the end of July.

The council says to reach that deadline it will need to reroute part of its water network to mainly use the pumping stations supplied by upgraded wells.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

Surplus vegetables.

My favourite way to use these is in a frittatta. It's so easy to make and even the kids will usually eat it. Mine like cheese. There are heaps of frittatta recipes online.
