Burnside and Farrington pump stations chlorine free
The council has stopped chlorine treatment at the Burnside and Farrington pump stations in the north west supply zone.
About 80,000 people are in the North West zone and turning off treatment at the Burnside and Farrington pump stations means 37 per cent of the zone is getting untreated water.
The Council is working through a similar process to stop chlorination at the following pump stations:
Thompsons and Grampian in the North West zone
Hills and Lake Terrace in the Central zone
Woolston in the Ferrymead zone
**The below ground wells can only stop being used at times of low (winter) water demand. If demand goes up and water needs to be drawn from the below ground well heads, water from the pump station will need to be treated.
Poll: Have we lost our "Clean & Green" edge? 🌏
The Press just released an article on the proposed plan to pump sewage into the sea, and it’s got us thinking. We’ve always been proud of our environment, but is the "Clean and Green" reputation still earned?
What’s your take? Are we doing enough to look after our backyard? Is it time for a new slogan? 💬

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
