Masterton District Council
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.

Concentrate on improving Three Waters infrastructure and raising its performance levels.
Continue with rubbish and recycling service.
Improve our inadequate stormwater system.
Improving and maintaining our infrastructure is fundamental, unacceptable that sewerage for example is being discharged on properties.
Reassess the dog registration fees – compliant dog owners need more bang for their buck here.
Implement recycling stations for all of our rural communities.
Lobby against the Three Waters legislation. We need investment not an asset takeover.
Food waste collections to reduce carbon emissions.
Shared agreement to build a new dog pound means we have a 21st-century service, now modernise the tag system and use media to find owners.
