Boil water notice still in place at Kaiapoi

The boil water notice REMAINS in place for Kaiapoi and Pines Beach and Kairaki.

It has been LIFTED for all other areas including Woodend and Waikuku Beach.

The old Waimakariri Bridge has been closed from eight oclock this morning because of pile damage. Pedestrians and cylists are BANNED. A shuttle is available to ferry people from one side to the other. (If it is not there when you arrive it will be doing a delivery and will collect you on the return trip.)

Lineside Road is open to northbound traffic only. Southbound traffic are being diverted onto Mulcock Road, travelling to Skewbridge then onto Island Road. This will add around 10 minutes to the trip. Be aware there is a 50km speed restriction at the bridge approach at Skewbridge where the road is damaged.

Rubbish, including damaged furniture, smaller amounts of building rubble, spoiled food, wet carpet and other materials contaminated by sewage can all be disposed of in the refuse pit at the Southbrook Transfer Station.

Clean, uncontaminated rubbish and hard fill, such as concrete, brickes and tiles will be acceptable as hardfill – trailer loads at Southbrook in the hardfill skip. Mixed building demolition waste (no large concrete) should go to the refuse pit. All normal disposal charges will apply – so keep receipts to claim from insurance.
