The Star Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Thursday June 21 2018 13 News Global look at city’s water Dalziel determined to resolve issue • By Julia Evans THE CITY council has set its sights globally in its bid to fix the city’s water supply. A report has been commissioned by experts in water supply chlorination in the Netherlands, with a draft report already in council possession. “The council is looking to learn from international examples of metropolitan water supplies, from secure Helen Beaumont groundwater sources, without chlorination,” water supply improvements programme manager Helen Beaumont said. “The focus was on the Netherlands, where 85 per cent of water supplies are supplied without residual chlorine treatment.” The city council is refusing to release the report publicly until it is finalised. “Until the final report is received we are unable to release the full costs,” Ms Beaumont said. But she said it was quoted at $12,500 plus GST. “This fee covered a report that examined comparable overseas metropolitan sites.” The advice was from global professional services company GHD and Royal Haskoning- Buffet THE is back! Indulge in a feast for all your senses amid the resplendent surroundings of The Grand Café’s Buffet. DHV, an international consultancy with experience with unchlorinated water supplies in Europe. It comes as a report to councillors last week revealed a 40-fold increase in the cost of making the city’s drinking water safe. Initially $800,000 was budgeted to improve the wellheads, but it is now expected to cost $35 million to fix 49 pump stations around the city. A 12-month, $5 million plan to repair seven pump stations has been confirmed. However, the other 42 pump stations are still being investigated. Options include raising well heads, UV and ozone treatment, replacing wells or cutting some off entirely. But Mayor Lianne Dalziel said she remains “determined” the issue will be resolved within 12 months. Chlorinating the water for more than 12 months would require a second vote from city councillors. It was discovered in December that the city’s wellheads were not secure, councillors approved chlorinating the water in January. Chlorination began on March 26. Ms Dalziel said she would “fight tooth and nail” to have unchlorinated water. Though Ms Beaumont said while that was still the target, it was a “challenge.” “To help us move towards the goal of removing temporary chlorination, the work programme for the pump stations will be prioritised and a water conservation campaign initiated to keep demand closer to winter levels, which are about half the peak summer demand,” she said. HORNCASTLE ARENA June 29 - July 1 10AM - 5PM TICKETS ONLINE: starhomeshow.kiwi Killing weeds by using steam on trial • By Bridget Rutherford STEAM FROM boiling water is being trialled to kill weeds on pavements in a bid to further reduce the use of the weed killer glyphosate. The city council has started trialling using the steam in the eastern suburbs. While the method had been killing the weeds, the city council was still in the early stages of analysing the benefits. City council transport operations manager Steffan Thomas said it was part of an ongoing commitment to reduce the use of glyphosate, commonly known as Roundup. In 2016, the city council decided to stop using glyphosate in its parks and reserves after the International Agency for Research on Cancer last year classified it as “probably carcinogenic to humans.” The city council then started using an organic weed killer for its parks and reserves. Mr Thomas said contractors continued to use the organic weed killer in parks and reserves, but had been trialling the steam method on pavements for a couple of months.
