Work to make improve water supplies for several North Canterbury communities will be finished ahead of schedule and under budget.

The Waimakariri District Council said the Woodend-Tuahiwi and Pegasus water supplies would be connected more than one month earlier than planned, and for $84,000 less than the budgeted $811,000.

Plans to remove chlorine from the Pegasus supply have been deferred though until the Government decides whether all water supplies across the country need to be chlorinated.
