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.

Focus on core services and rates reduction.
Push for a Three Waters reboot, the proposed regions are too large to best service a region like Kāpiti.
Push for a review of new methods to treat drinking water to use less chemicals.
Push for a solution to stop our rubbish and recycling being trucked out of town to be buried in a landfall elsewhere.
Oppose rubbish collection being contracted out.
Fight against Three Waters.
