Hey neighbours,

All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.

The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.

They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.

What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?

Public water-saving measures appear to be paying off with much of Christchurch likely to have a chlorine-free supply again in May.

Public water-saving measures appear to be paying off with much of Christchurch likely to have a chlorine-free supply again in May.

However, based on progress up to Tuesday, more than 150,000 water users will have to put up with chlorinated water until at least the end of June, when an ultra-violet treatment plant is due to be commissioned.

Council water supply improvement programme manager Helen Beaumont says the council has not yet "given up on the May target" for taking chlorine out of the city's water supply.

Just a handful of places around New Zealand officially had a "heatwave" this week, despite the often record-setting hot weather.

On Thursday it was Hanmer Forest in North Canterbury that topped the temperature charts, with a stifling maximum of 38.4 degrees Celsius, according to the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research.

That was the hottest temperature there since records began in 1906, the fourth-equal highest temperature for January of anywhere in New Zealand, and the hottest temperature of this summer so far.

But while most of the country has sweltered over the past five days, the hot spell experienced by many has actually fallen short of official heatwave status.
