Porirua 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.

Encourage our council to continue to look at ways to re-home all good-natured dogs no matter the breed.
Continue to support our recycling initiative in those suburbs where it doesn't go into the waste every week due to contamination.
Safe water supply is a right! Support all initiatives.
Promote waste minimisation through the inclusion of two extra bins, one for garden waste and one for food scraps. Decreasing landfill.
Take a more holistic Māori approach to our wai. All Three Waters should not be separated into siloed plans/strategies. It doesn't work.
