Chlorine free water for Napier
"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."

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
