Questions over water reforms
‘were too soft’ – Mauger
• From page 1
Said Mauger: “There’s a
question: ‘All areas of New
Zealand should have access to
safe drinking water?’ Of course
you’ll agree. The Government
will look at that answer and
go ‘we’re on the right track,
everyone wants to have fresh
water’.
“I’m a wee bit disappointed our
questionnaire wasn’t a wee bit
more forthright. The questions
were too soft for me,” he said.
City council head of three
waters and waste Helen
Beaumont said the option of a
straight ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer was
considered premature.
“We felt it was too early to ask
a ‘for’ or ‘against’ question, as we
do not believe there is sufficient
information yet available about
the details of the Government’s
proposal for three waters reform
for Christchurch and Banks
Peninsula,” she said.
“This is only the start of a
public conversation – we are
planning other opportunities in
the future. We will be making
it clear in our feedback to the
Government that we fully expect
to consult with our community
when it comes to such an
important and significant
decision for our district.”
The survey, which launched
last month, had attracted
more than 4600 responses by
yesterday afternoon. It closes on
Sunday.
Mauger was adamant he
did not require any further
information, with his view set in
stone.
“I’ve made my mind up, I
would opt out every day of the
week. I have enough information
to make a decision,” he said.
“It does not feel right. If
you take away all those assets,
