Boul Water Notice Lifted

Mike Gibbs from Avondale Neighbours Group

Boil Water Notice Lifted
Boil water notice lifted for all in the Rawhiti water supply zone

The boil water notice for the Rawhiti water supply zone in east Christchurch has been lifted.

Residents in New Brighton and parts of Shirley, Bexley, Burwood, Avondale and Aranui no longer need to boil their water.

The move follows discussions with the Drinking Water Assessor and the Medical Officer of Health.

A boil water notice was issued on Saturday morning after laboratory tests of water samples taken from the Keyes pump station in Rawhiti Domain detected the presence of e-coli.

However, extensive flushing of the water supply network has now ensured that any potentially contaminated water has been eliminated.

Water sampling over the past three days has found no evidence of e-coli

Staff will continue to monitor the water quality over the Christmas-New Year period.

The Keyes pump station will remain isolated from the network during further investigation.

While the station is offline, people in this area are being asked not to water their gardens except during times of low water demand. Please use hand held hoses and only water gardens before 7am and/or after 9pm. This will help ensure that there is sufficient water for everyone and also maintain network pressure.

Please share this information with friends and family and neighbours in east Christchurch.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
