Mayor of Waitaki
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.

Manage an extensive program of upgrades for Three Waters. Our services are in good condition but more needs to be done to meet future standards.
Provide more opportunities for people to reduce their waste, both at home and in public, such as introducing more public recycling bins.
Develop an upgrade plan for Oamaru's business dares and spatial plans for our southern towns and Kurow. Work with Maheno on their water supply.
Initiate the development of refuse collection.
Plant green spaces with more trees and shrubs on under utilised and difficult terrain to reduce energy and maintenance costs.
Review the rural water supplies which are constantly under boil water notices and failing to meet regulatory standards.
