Ōtaki Community Board
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.

A single, council controlled waste vendor to ensure consistency and a better cost to Ōtaki residents.
Engage with council to ensure that Ōtaki streets and parks are clean, enjoyable places to be.
Invest in infrastructure which will handle Ōtaki's expected population growth.
