Northwest Water Chlorination to begin Friday 6 April
The following message from Council- City Services Group today.
"There has been a change in sequencing of the rollout of temporary chlorination and we will now start treatment in the Northwest zone from Friday 6 April.
The change in start date has been enabled because the Canterbury District Health Board has been able to get enough filters to protect dialysis patients in the area.
Treatment in the Riccarton zone will start on Wednesday 4 April, and in Sockburn and Hornby (the West zone) on Friday 6 April.
Previously we had planned to start treatment in the two biggest zones, Central and Northwest, at the end of April. Amending the timeframe will reduce the overall demand on staff at the end of the programme and allow for a more efficient roll out.
Valves between the central and northwest zone have been shut off to stop any transfer of chlorinated water into the central zone. The central zone also has a higher pressure than the northwest, which would prevent water from the northwest flowing into the central area.
