Cost to keep Christchurch's drinking water safe spirals to almost $40 million

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

The cost of keeping Christchurch's drinking water safe has spiralled to almost $40 million – more than 25 times the city council's initial estimate for chlorination and to fix vulnerable wells.

Christchurch City councillors have to find at least $35m to fix 49 pump stations, more than 40 times the original $840,000 budget for the work.

Redzone Dogs

REDZONE DOGS - GROUP DOG WALKS
Hi guys,
I’ve started a Facebook group called Redzone Dogs. It’s a great community where we join and organise dog walks in and around the Redzone. It’s a great way to socialise your dog, feel safer when out and about late at night, and meet locals.
