Reporting strong chlorine taste in water to council
I was at a public meeting this week with Programme Manager of Water Supply Improvement Helen Beaumont (also attended by the Mayor and CEO of the CCC).
Helen encouraged reporting to council if residents are experiencing a strong chlorine taste in their water. (details below on how to report)
These reports will help create a 'heat map' which can be used by council
"On top of our ongoing work to reduce the impact of the chlorination, as well as flushing pipes to remove the natural organic matter that causes the smell and taste, we are managing the dose level and reducing it where we have been given approval to do so."

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
40.7% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
59.3% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
