Burnside and Farrington pump stations chlorine free

Aaron Campbell - Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Board

The council has stopped chlorine treatment at the Burnside and Farrington pump stations in the north west supply zone.

About 80,000 people are in the North West zone and turning off treatment at the Burnside and Farrington pump stations means 37 per cent of the zone is getting untreated water.

The council has stopped chlorine treatment at the Burnside and Farrington pump stations in the north west supply zone.

About 80,000 people are in the North West zone and turning off treatment at the Burnside and Farrington pump stations means 37 per cent of the zone is getting untreated water.
The Council is working through a similar process to stop chlorination at the following pump stations:
Thompsons and Grampian in the North West zone
Hills and Lake Terrace in the Central zone
Woolston in the Ferrymead zone

**The below ground wells can only stop being used at times of low (winter) water demand. If demand goes up and water needs to be drawn from the below ground well heads, water from the pump station will need to be treated.

How high are your power bills this winter?

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Hey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?

Hey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?

We're looking into ways we can all keep these costs down for a story on Homed and would love to hear from you if you have particularly large or small bills.

Do your power bills come in way higher than your friends and family? Do you know why, or does the amount always take you by surprise? Maybe, like the family who created an effective solar panel heater out of drink cans, or the blogger who enjoys free power generated by a converted washing machine, you've found a creative way to minimise your bills. If so, how do you do it?

Whether your bills are high and you're looking for ways to reduce them, or you have some secrets to low power bills that you're willing to share, we'd love to hear from you. Email homed@stuff.co.nz and one of our reporters will be in touch.

We’re local, we’re friendly and we’re here to provide the best possible products and service!

We have the latest offerings in everything you could imagine, and a huge space! Recently, a large selection of new mattresses arrived at the Brighton Mall showroom. If you thought getting a new, super snugly warm mattress was going to cost the earth, think again! Our single inner-sprung mattresses start at $99.

Surrounding them are a variety of the latest Steiner chairs, heavy wooden drawers, industrial and rustic tables and minimalist items in the Scandinavian style. Subtle hues and bursts of colour reflect global trends and boutique tastes.

“Our whole philosophy is to keep overheads down so people can get the same items that are in a higher-end store, but cheaper.

Come in and enjoy... you’ll be so glad you did.
