Chlorine in our Drinking Water.
I see Helen Beaumont is in the paper again, suggesting that if we want to get the chlorine out of our water by May next year, we need to cease watering our gardens and lawns to cut down on water usage so they can take more wells out of commission while they repair the well heads.
There is a far better way that does not require water restrictions of any kind. If the Council adopted copper/silver ionisation as suggested, the water would be disinfected and we would not even know it was there. Therefore, there would be no rush to get the well heads repaired and no need to take them out of action over the very busy summer period. It would also appear to be much more cost effective than the proposed UV disinfection which is not going to do the job anyway.
This whole subject is of vital concern to all of us, both to prevent the corrosion of our water systems and the corrosion of our bodily health systems as well. The sooner the Council recognise this the sooner we can get rid of the chlorine and get back to a healthy water systems.
If those who are interested in coming to a meeting to get more detail on this and working out a strategy on how we can get the Council to see sense, please email me at ronald.m@xtra.co.nz in order that we can gauge interest going forward. The sooner we get started the sooner we can save our water.

Ron McCandlish.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
