Several unexpected delays to the Christchurch City Council’s well-heads upgrade programme means parts of the city will still receive chlorine-treated drinking water beyond this month.

The Council had previously expected to end chlorine treatment by end of July except at times of high demand, with it entirely gone from the water supply by the end of September.
Temporary chlorine treatment will continue to affect some parts of the city at various times until the end of September, including households in Sydenham, Beckenham, Opawa, St Martins, Spreydon, Hoon Hay, Cashmere, Bowenvale, Huntsbury, Sockburn, Hornby and Wigram. Thankfully, Riccarton should be chlorine-free by the end of this month.
