Jennifer Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I just saw on the news that the city will be adding chlorine to the water supply. This may or may not affect your area but it would be wise to have some dechlorinators on hand (e.g. API Stress Coat or Seachem Prime) just in case. Most pet shops are still operating and should have these products in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 You would need to assume it is the whole of the area serviced by CCC as of from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I saw on the news that they had indeed added chlorine today. I think I already can smell it in the tap water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deepsound Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I didn't know Chch was the only city in New Zealand that doesn't add chlorine. I read the water supply was expected to be chlorinated for a number of months... http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/christchurch/597004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humvee Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 We're on well water out here so if anyone wants to get non-chlorinated water you're welcome to come out for a visit - just bring some containers to take it back with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, Christchurch cannot receive the highest water quality rating because no chemicals are added! The water is extremely pure, apart from the ever increasing amount of nitrates from the ever increasing number of dairy farms. :an!gry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
