The charge was one of many points discussed by the Christchurch City Council on Monday as it ratified and voted on final amendments to the city's 10-year budget, known formally as the long-term plan.
The council also decided not to decommission Wharenui Pool (though funding past 2022 remains unclear), and voted to give the Arts Centre a $5.5 million grant, keep the Riccarton bus lounge open, and retain the mobile library for now.
Although the council intended to start the excess water use charge next month, Cr Sara Templeton said no fines would be dished out the first year, to allow people to get used to the change.
Read more, including who will be affected by the new charge, here.

Canterbury’s “highest risk route” will be under the spotlight as the public are asked to give their views on the road’s current speed limits.
Between 2011 and 2020, 75 people were killed or suffered serious injuries on the road between Christchurch and Akaroa.
Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) is now seeking feedback from communities on the Banks Peninsula and Christchurch to hear their views on what the speed limits should be.
Do you think the speed should be reduced along SH 75/73?
People can provide feedback by visiting the NZTA website or emailing chchtoakaroaspeeds@nzta.govt.nz.
Drop-in sessions will also take place at:
Te Hapua Halswell Centre, July 1, 3–6pm
Little River School, July 6, 3–6pm
Tai Tapu Hotel, July 6, 10am–1pm
The Gaiety Hall, Akaroa, July 10, 11am–2pm

Good wet evening, everyone.
I have read about Black Ginger, that is used in Thailand, for the treatment of weak blood, in men. I tried Funky Pumpkin; never heard of this item. Also Ken's Mart in Sydenham with the same results. Does anyone know offhand where this can be sourced from?

Taco Bell superfan Jessa Arcayera, 18, waited 90 minutes in line to get her hands on her favourite Taco Bell order: a beefy cheese burrito, crunchy taco wrap, cinnamon twists, fries and a Coke.
She was one of nearly 100 eager customers who donned taco shell hats and T-shirts outside the Taco Bell Eastgate store in Linwood, Christchurch – the South Island’s first – as they waited for the big purple bell to be rung and ribbon to be cut.
Would you queue to be first to order at the South Island's first Taco Bell?

Does the way you eat make you feel depressed or low? Has life stopped feeling good and lost its meaning? Don’t know how to stop stress eating? Does your eating cause you to feel listless or numbed out? Does your relationship with food make you feel isolated from family, friends and loved ones? Find out how AEA members have used the Twelve Step programme to overcome the low feelings associated with addictive eating and go on to live joyful, positive lives.
These are the stories of how some of our members came to find a solution to their food related depression in Addictive Eaters Anonymous. This way of life is available to you, too. We suggest you read these stories of eating disorder recovery with an open mind. Focus on the similarities, rather than the differences. Whatever your problem with food, AEA can help.

I am curious to know if those rebates and incentives would be enough to make you change from internal combustion to EV or Hybrid.
Personally, it doesn't offer anywhere enough for me to even consider. I believe their offer is pathetic and won't allow many to change because of the cost factors plus that type of vehicle is only in its infancy and there are many unknowns and limitations to be ironed out, let alone the extremely limited charging network.
I am sure one of the Press/Stuff journalists will put up a more comprehensive article.
