Waikato 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.

Strongly oppose central government's Three Water reforms.
Convert our current rubbish collection system to waste-to-energy options and remove the current restrictions on recycling materials.
Lobby for increased internet and cellphone coverage across the district, including addressing the signal issues in Te Kauwhata's Main Street.
