An urgent upgrade to make Lake Ohau Village's risky water supply compliant with drinking water standards could cost ratepayers at least $760 extra a year.

The village water is drawn from an unreliable stream and stored in eight deteriorating 35-year-old tanks before being gravity fed to properties which are on a permanent boil notice.

In a survey of residents, more than 80 per cent said they did not want chlorine added to the system, but the council said that as a result of the Havelock North water contamination, chlorine might not be optional in the future.

What are your thoughts?

You go to put it in your bin but notice it's already full. What do you do? Keep it stashed as an ornamental addition in the corner of the kitchen? or do you eye up the neighbour's bin for a potential drop and dash?

Some of you have no worries being sneaky, but would you be okay with neighbour's using your bins?

This month we’re celebrating the diverse array of people who call New Zealand home. Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, nationalities, ages, orientations and even genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.

There’s many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck where each attendee brings a dish from a country of their choice to coordinating a fundraiser that benefits refugees or our elderly there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their native language or ensuring local footpaths are accessible!

Don’t forget this month also coincides with Women’s Refugee Awareness Month and International Day of Friendship on July 30th - a United Nations day that promotes the role that friendship plays in promoting peace in many cultures.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re making your community more inclusive this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
