MEDIA RELEASE
South Wairarapa District Council yesterday voted to join Wellington Water as a shareholder and become a client of its three waters management services.
Mayor Viv Napier said Council’s decision was a positive step for the community.
"Wellington Water is a large, specialist provider focused on delivering excellence in three waters services. It has demonstrated its commitment working with each of its councils to understand their priorities and deliver on their long term plans.
"South Wairarapa has its own distinct needs for water services, and I’m confident Wellington Water will take a customer-first approach in working with council and residents to understand and meet the needs of our customers."
