Napier City 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.

Fight to retain local control of our water! Too important to leave to Wellington bureaucrats. Gradually replace sewerage infrastructure.
Create platforms and collection points for the wheelie bins – this is particularly important on the hill and tight spaces.
Reward good dog owners and limit annual costs of dog licensing.
Continue to support work to reduce waste and encourage recycling and circular economies where possible
Continue to prioritise moving to a world class drinking water distribution network.
Continue improvements on our stormwater network to reduce the risk of flooding and damage to the estuary.
Improve ground water extraction facilities to ensure a low manganese water supply.
Investigate more effective recycling and waste reduction systems.
Introduce storage for wastewater to cope with large scale weather events and prevent wastewater overflow.
Retaining control and ownership of our 3 waters is a priority for our community.
Continuing the high level of service regarding street cleanliness, public gardens and public toilets.
More spaces for dog owners to walk and exercise their dogs on lead and off lead.
Keep all Napier streets clean, trimmed, and tidy. Not just the tourist areas.
Keep all council assets in ratepayers hands. I would stand against the Three Waters policy.
Keep working on clean and safe drinking water for Napier.
