meet the New Zealand drinking water standards over the next
10 years or so. Ultimately, we aim to negate the need for boil
water notices in the future.
Development contributions are being collected to offset the
negative economic effects on ratepayers of upgrades of supplies
in the District that are necessary to cater for growth. Such
upgrades will help to ensure that the present level of provision
of water supply services is sustainable.
Emergency Management
In an emergency, particularly a civil defence emergency, we will
continue to deliver services as long as it is safe and practical to
continue to do so. Water is a priority commodity at any time,
and no less so in the event of a civil emergency. Every effort
will be made to maintain our water services in an emergency
situation, or when major damage has occurred for whatever
reason.
