Rangitīkei District 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.

Address the need for recycling of rubbish in the Rangitīkei.
Advocate against Three Waters given a lack of transparency, consultation and resource for rural districts.
If Three Waters proceeds, ensure Rangitīkei has a strong voice in any future decisions and relevant relationships with other agencies exists.
Continue to protest the way Three Waters is being implemented by the government.
Support an aspirational goal to improve water quality across the whole of the Rangitīkei District.
I do not support the current Three Waters legislation. Doesn't allow local voice. Little transparency and accountability. No certainty.
Collaborate with neighbours, have shared service agreement.
Significant expenditure planned in short term, including new water bores for Marton and wastewater centralisation project.
Distressingly bad drinking water is dragging us down and has to be improved if we want to keep growing.
Promote a clean green country image by continuously improving our streetscapes and managing hygiene essentials well.
