RECYCLING BINS AND STRONG WINDS

Esperanza from Taradale

My street is covered with plastic bottles, paper, even glass due to the high winds. Some containers are empty and sailing around. I guess we need to organize and locate the containers in a way that can be somehow wind-proof. It might be only the area i am living on. Check it out anyway.

Chlorine free water for Napier

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."

Click on the council link below, then click on ANNUAL PLAN 2019/20. Click on the pink circle GIVE US YOUR FEEDBACK HERE and fill in your details. Scroll down to #7 WATER SUPPLY and click on DISAGREE. In the COMMENT box tell the council that you want chlorine-free water, and write a few sentences saying why you think Napier's water supply should be chlorine-free. Scroll down to the bottom and click NEXT. To end simply click DONE
We do not need chlorine treatment or expensive U.V. treatment plants - the council could save ratepayers millions of dollars if they follow what Christchurch is doing.
If Christchurch can go chlorine-free so can we - our aquifer is better than theirs.

Bridget from Hospital Hill

Dog owners beware Napier Cemetery if you are walking your dogs there. I took my dogs for a walk last night and one of them was eating something in a recently gardened area. He vomited last night and is very listless this morning...off to the vet.
