Purer water on tap for Christchurch as chlorine doses halved
Doses of chlorine being used across Christchurch to ensure drinking water is safe will likely be halved next month after city councillors approved the move.
Cutbacks will be made at 60 per cent of the city's pump stations – 40 per cent already have lower doses – reducing the smell and taste of chlorine, particularly for those nearest to wells.
It will also be welcome relief for those with skin conditions such as eczema that are aggravated by the chemical.
