Christchurch to net $40m after agreeing to Government water reforms

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

The Christchurch City Council has agreed to sign up to the first stage of Government plans for nationwide reform to the water sector.

The council will share information on its water network with neighbouring councils and central government and discuss working together in the future.

The deal will likely net Christchurch $40 million to help patch up its creaking water infrastructure. A positive step for the garden city?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
