# Water General, 3 Wichita Place, Burwood, Christchurch 8083, New Zealand

Burwood, Christchurch · filed 23 September 2026 · report 8968212
https://www.chch.live/report/8968212

> Ever since the cold water was turned off on Monday 21st Sept 2026 mid morning, our only shower in the home has flowed only boiling water with a trickle of cold water. The shower has never had an issue since living here for over 25yrs until Monday's works across the road when the workers turned the cold water off on Wichita Place. I was in the shower when the warm water was then boiling hot. This was traumatising. Now, can not shower without burning.
