Long Term Community Plan 2012-2022 - Hurunui District Council

Hurunui Community Long Term Plan 2012 - 2022
Development contributions are being collected to offset the
negative economic effects on ratepayers for future upgrades of
infrastructure 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 kept sustainable.
Shared Services
We have an agreement with Waimakariri District Council to
supply water to the Ashley and Sefton parts of their district. As
such, approximately 1,650 Waimakariri ratepayers = many more
residents pay the water proportion of rates directly to us.
Community Outcomes
1. A desirable and safe place to live
2. A place with essential infrastructure
Goals
Supply water
to meet
consumer

How we will
achieve our Goals
Provide a
continuous ‘ondemand’
supply of
potable water to
urban areas and a
‘restricted’ supply
of water to rural
areas
Undertake
a residents
satisfaction survey
Maintain and
improve water
schemes to comply
with DWSNZ
Water tested for
quality
Goals and Performance Measures
Performance Measures Current Situation 11/12 12/13 13/14 14/15 15+
Major faults to water
supply pipelines
greater than 250mm
diameter that affect
customers are
repaired within 24
hours
Resident satisfaction
will continue to
improve over the
coming years
Install 9 mixed oxidant
treatment plants and
eliminate the need for
permanent boil water
notices
The safety standard
of potable water
improves each year**
No such faults were reported
during the year, but we have a better
system in place now to capture this
information and track the completion
of work via our service request
programme
Resident satisfaction levels have
improved since 2007 and in 2011
it reached 82.5%* satisfaction with
water quality. Satisfaction with
quantity of rural water was 81%.
We have 8 permanent boil water
notices in place.
Water standards are measured weekly
or monthly depending on the number
of consumers for each scheme.***
Our potable water met safety
standards in 85% of the district.

*Average score over three questions relating to pressure and flow of water (86%), appearance and taste (79%).
**We have been working to improve the safety standard of potable water in the district each year and last year we reached 85%.
***Each scheme, dependent on its risks at intake (shallow through river gallery would be high risk), has a monitoring regime associated with
its need for sampling and testing for e-coli and total coliforms. The higher the risk, the more tests required for the scheme. High risk - once per
week, low risk (deep intake) - once per month. A failure is an e-coli reading >1, which requires retesting until it achieves three clear results.
