Have your power prices gone up?

Electric Kiwi

Households are being told to shop around for better power deals as some power companies lifted their prices in April. On the flip side, smaller companies like Electric Kiwi won't be raising power prices this year and are challenging the big power companies to do the same.

Over 240 people braved the elements to attend our RiverLink Community Open Days. Some even managed to stop by when there was good weather!

Here’s some interesting feedback we’ve received from you so far:
· You want paths along the stop banks to be wide enough for multiple users
· A pedestrian / cycling bridge opposite Margaret Street [would be] good, linking to the railway station
· It's worth moving the bridge [to Queens Drive] and making a better link to the CBD

What do you think? We want to know. Go to www.riverlink.co.nz... and click on Your Feedback to tell us your thoughts.

Please share this message with your friends and family, we really want to know what you think.

Update 19 April 2017:  Last week one of the water wells in the Waterloo well field had a positive E.coli result and Wellington Water began chlorinating Lower Hutt’s unchlorinated water supply as a precaution.
Further testing of this well came back negative but as a further precaution Wellington Water is testing further across the water network and chlorination will continue while this happens.
Because the public bores at Buick Street and Dowse Square can’t be chlorinated, on advice from Regional Public Health they have been closed, again as a precaution during further testing. Read the background on our website www.huttcity.govt.nz...

The good news is that tests today (Thursday 13 April) have come back negative, however Wellington Water will continue to chlorinate the water and test this bore and bores throughout the city, so your water supply will remain chlorinated over the long weekend.

Pending further investigation, and advice from Regional Public Health, Hutt City Council have closed the unchlorinated public water supply bores at Buick Street, and Dowse Square. Until we get approval, both public bores will be closed as a precautionary measure.
