Mayor of Hamilton
Utilities and services
Councils are responsible for a wide range of utilities and services that we all rely on, from rubbish and recycling to street cleaning. Councils are currently also responsible for managing waste water, storm water and drinking water infrastructure – the ‘Three Waters’. But that may be about to change, with central government seeking to shift the delivery of Three Waters services to four new larger entities, which could borrow enough to upgrade the country’s water infrastructure.

Lobby central government to review its Three Waters policy. The auditor general has highlighted a number of issues that need to be resolved.
Upgrade (where needed) and maintain our water infrastructure to ensure it is fit for current needs and future growth.
Educate residents about the stormwater system to help reduce contaminants going into the Waikato River.
Improve and expand our waste management to increase the diversion of recycling from 51%. Add a new focus on construction waste.
Continue to oppose the Three Waters reform as currently proposed but create alternative options that are in the best interest of Hamiltonians.
Continue to support communities to keep neighbourhoods clean and tidy. Build pride through tidy berms and roundabouts.
Drinking water supply, wastewater and sewage, called the Three Waters rainwater. Grey water and sewage should be processed in appropriate ways.
Dog licencing is essential to control them ensuring they are chipped for identification, having numbered collars. Out of control dogs can harm.
Street cleaning ensures the kerbs and drains are kept clean from leaves and debris. Each business owner must keep his shop front path clean.
Protect the control and ownership of our assets and infrastructure and by saying no to Three Waters.
Maintain all water and wastewater infrastructure and ensure it is safe, compliant and effective.
