Mayor of Waimate
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.

Consider changes to the way charging occurs for waste collection and water usage with tiered pricing and user pays to incentivise good behaviour.
Ensure working hard to make sure the water service delivery plan, as an in-house model, delivers what the community has been told it will do.
Monitor service levels to ensure public spaces and facilities remain clean, safe and accessible for all residents.
