Water “younger than one year old” is present in one of the Grampian wells – younger water may be a risk to public health due to the potential presence of bacteria and viruses. It is not possible in the short term to isolate the well, so the Council is restarting temporary chlorination as a precautionary measure. The Council will repeat the age dating analysis and explore options for the pump station.

Water chlorination in Casebrook: the Christchurch City Council has just advised the following:
“We’ll soon be adding chlorine to our Grampian Street water supply pump station in Casebrook.
This is a precaution while we carry out age-testing of the groundwater from one of our water wells.
If you live in or around Casebrook, you may be able to taste or smell chlorine in your drinking water. This is normal and safe.
We expect to finish the testing by end of June 2021, at which time we’ll also remove the chlorine.
Thank you for your patience while we carry out this important work in your area.
For more information about water chlorination, please visit ccc.govt.nz/WaterChlorination”
