The Christchurch City Council planned to upgrade 102 wells within a year, then dechlorinate the city's water supply – but there are questions over whether any have yet been repaired to the standards required.

Work on at least 19 was meant to have been finished by now, but the city council has indicated that none have been completed yet.
