Long Term Community Plan 2012-2022 - Hurunui District Council

Hurunui Community Long Term Plan 2012 - 2022
Management Plans (AMP), and so the Utilities section will be
incorporating these as part of our network AMP codicils. This
approach is consistent with what other territorial authorities
are doing and is consistent with Audit NZ and Ministry of
Health’s expectations.
Few of our water networks comply with the source or
treatment criteria under the Drinking Water Standards New
Zealand [2005]. Of the 25 intakes, 4 have basic uV treatment
(but are not considered by DWSNZ [2005] as fully effective),
One has advanced uV and six utilize chlorine. Five intakes treat
to correct aesthetic faults. One intake provides for filtration of
suspended solids.
Some communities have further sought and/or secured
improvements in the quality and quantity of their water (Cheviot
Urban area, Ashley Main Intake, North Ashley area, Amberley,
Culverden and Hanmer Springs).
There are seven public wastewater facilities in the district, all are
currently consented and perform reasonably well. Hanmer and
Amberley have undergone significant upgrading for discharge
quality and consent compliance.
We are committed to managing and maintaining public water
and wastewater services. Asset Management Plans for water
and wastewater have been updated (2009/10) with an emphasis
on meeting “core” levels of management.
Future growth and renewal considerations will continue to be
identified by the utilities section and in response to consumer
demand and will be presented in each Long Term Plan process
and updated or highlighted in intervening Annual Plans.
Information on funding, consumer information and assets can
be found in the Asset Management Plan/Codicils and is not
repeated in these updates.
The full Water and Sanitary Services Assessment is available on
our website.
