Palmerston North/Manawatū is already using water stored for summer

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Palmerston North and Manawatū are drying out at a time when it should be lush, prompting fears of a repeat of last year's scorching start to summer.

The city's last significant rain was a month ago, when 11.4 millimetres fell on September 25. Just a few drops more had fallen since.

Palmerston North and Manawatū are drying out at a time when it should be lush, prompting fears of a repeat of last year's scorching start to summer.

The city's last significant rain was a month ago, when 11.4 millimetres fell on September 25. Just a few drops more had fallen since.

In the city's Turitea water catchment, only 22mm had fallen in 60 days, the lowest for the same period in eight years. City council transport and infrastructure manager Robert van Bentum said the dam had stopped overflowing, which was unusual for the time of year, and the city had already used 12 per cent of the water that would normally be stored for summer.

Unless the forecast rain eventuated, it would be considering water use restrictions in early November. He said the city was likely to have the benefit of one or two more bores operating this summer to help even out supply. However, Horizons Regional Council imposed limits on how much water the city could draw. Read more

Hi neighbours,

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.

As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.
