Waimakariri 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.

Oppose Three Waters reforms in their current form and encourage government and councils to work together on solutions that will work.

We need to create better recycling options. Fortunately the technology is changing and improving all the time. We need to keep up with this.
I am totally against the Three Waters confiscation of our assets and what could be a significant increase in rates is not good for the people.
