Here’s a Christchurch water chlorination update from the Papanui Innes Community Board. Treatment in the Northwest zone will begin this Friday 6 April. This zone includes the top part of the Papanui Ward, including the pump stations in Prestons Road and Grampian Street (a map of the zone is available via the linked article). All Council water supplies are expected to be chlorinated by the end of this month.
An update on chlorination:
There has been a change in sequencing of the rollout of temporary chlorination and CCC will now start treatment in the Northwest zone from Friday 6 April.
Treatment in the Riccarton zone will start on Wednesday 4 April, and in Sockburn and Hornby (the West zone) on Friday 6 April.
Previously CCC had planned to start treatment in the two biggest zones, Central and Northwest, at the end of April.
Amending the timeframe will reduce the overall demand on staff at the end of the programme and allow for a more efficient roll out.
Valves between the central and northwest zone have been shut off to stop any transfer of chlorinated water into the central zone. The central zone also has a higher pressure than the northwest, which would prevent water from the northwest flowing into the central area.
There is more information on our website www.ccc.govt.nz/water-chlorination

Final reminder: submissions on the ECan Long Term Plan (including the proposal to disestablish the 107 and 108 bus routes in the Papanui area) closes at 5pm on Monday 26 March 2018. Think Papanui has made a submission that includes comments made in response to the previous post on this topic, but your words will carry more weight if you give your own feedback directly. You can do this through the web-based ECan submission portal (follow the link below), but a more user-friendly way is to send submissions by email (to mailroom@ecan.govt.nz) – please ensure you use ‘LTP SUBMISSION’ as your email subject and that your name and address is included. You can also request the opportunity to talk to Councillors about your submission. Video and written/paper submissions are accepted also. https://www.ecan.govt.nz/your-region/plans-strategies-and-bylaws/long-term-plans/

Chlorination of Christchurch’s drinking water supply will start from 26 March 2018, starting with Brooklands and Kainga, as well as the Heathcote Valley. Progressively over the following few weeks the rest of the city’s supply will be treated, so we should expect water to have been treated any time from 26 March onwards. More information here: https://ccc.govt.nz/services/water-and-drainage/water-supply/water-chlorination/
The Council is temporarily treating Christchurch’s drinking water with chlorine while it upgrades the below ground well heads. Temporary chlorination will start from 26 March 2018 and provides an extra level of protection against waterborne illnesses.
