Te Awamutu 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.

Keep 'three waters' in local council hands. Change is needed but planned legislation unfair and unworkable.
Encourage the community to dispose of rubbish responsibly. Advertising/fines.
By building houses more stormwater is created due to less permeable land taking up water.
Decline the fluoride proposal. Our water is great and we do not need any poison added. Promoting less sugar and healthy living is better.
Decline the Three Waters proposal from central government. Our systems are good and we do not need our assets to be given away, they are ours.
Force Envirowaste to reduce the price of its yellow rubbish bags. Continue with recycling collections.
Support holding a DIY garage sale to recycling building offcuts and seconds and prevent them going to landfill.
Continue support and implementation of the Urban Miners E-waste monthly collection and the battery recycling project.
A question. Even if fluoride were not a controversial chemical, should everyone receive some people's medicine? Health is wealth!
No to Three Waters. So important to maintain and share the local knowledge on so many aspects of our community. Gives belonging and purpose.
