Mayor of Waimakariri
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.

Rubbish and recycling seems to favour big companies rather than local providers. Small contract areas could stop this. Support local.
A man with a shovel broom and little truck cleaned the town. We now rebuild the kerb and channel so a vacuum truck can do his job.
The Three Waters, what underhand outright attempt at stealing ratepayer-owned assets. The team of five million, 'be kind', spin if ever there was.
