Chlorine free water for Napier

Pauline from Hospital Hill

"We urge the council to carry out an independent investigation of the Christchurch model for supplying healthy, safe drinking water without using chlorine. Last year NCC claimed 'The capital cost to develop a water distribution network that is suitable to remove chlorine as a treatment methodology is likely to be in the billion dollar range and would take decades to implement.' This year the billion dollar estimate has been revised down to roughly $110 million with a potential rates increase of 22% in the March 2019 report. This is all scare-mongering: the review overly exaggerates the contamination risks within Napier’s distribution network and makes unsubstantiated claims regarding the effectiveness of chlorine. The Christchurch upgrade to enable return to chlorine-free water is estimated to cost around $35 million."

Green potatoes

Elva from Taradale

Why do the supermarkets and others sell green potatoes. They are toxic and should be covered with a sack or something dark so the light doesn't get to them.
