Water Chlorination - a Rates Rise of 6.4% coming
The council want to know if we agree to their planned rates rise of 6.4%. Say "NO" to chlorinated water and "NO" to the rates rise if it means they continue chlorinating our water.
NCC has budgeted $20 million on water treatment plants etc but we still end up with all the CHLORINE PROBLEMS:
1) our natural immunity to illness undermined
2) painful skin conditions
3) discoloured water from the chlorine stripping biofilm from inside the pipes - which ends up, not in the gutter, as they used to do, but in our kitchen sinks.
This is our chance to tell this council we will NOT accept a rates rise. Don't be misled by the council’s website - Napier could safely follow the Christchurch example. For more information email Guardians of the Aquifer: p.doyle@hotmail.com
Submissions deadline Monday 13th May.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
