Drinking water under threat, says Norman "Christchurch people need to 'wake up' to the threat intensive agriculture poses to their drinking water, Green Party co-leader Russel Norman says.. 'It's Dunsandel today but it's Christchurch tomorrow - it's getting closer'.. A GNS scientist said last year a 200-metre deep well in Avonhead had shown a 'statistically significant trend' in increasing nitrate-nitrogen concentrations since 1995. At the time Environment Canterbury (ECan) said the trend was a concern but the concentrations were low and did not pose health risks.. The Selwyn District Council said yesterday a $7000 ultraviolet radiation treatment system would be used to sterilise the E. coli in Dunsandel's water supply. Some residents became sick because of unacceptable levels of faecal bacteria in untreated water from the town's well" The Press 06Mar10

As a result of the influx of water two weeks ago the river has been left filthy, full of sediment and devoid of fish life.
