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.

Continue working on our Three Waters projects, including building a new reservoir on Mataruahou.

Create vehicle and dog-free zones at nesting time for native coastal birds, including kororā in Ahuriri and dotterels on northern beaches.
Continue improvements to water quality. Encourage community led conservation of water and responsibility for drains and open waterways.
Establish, deliver and promote programs that target how we need re-think the way we shop in order to minimise the waste going to refuse.
Continue to oppose the Three Waters reform and continue to look into better alternatives such as the regional Hawkes Bay model.
Ensuring that Council services match council rates by ensuring infrastructure and services are fit for purpose.
Continue to support the NCC's objection to central government proposal for Three Waters and promote the regional alternative.
