Family spent $35k on flood repairs, only to 'lose everything' again in deluge

Catherine Beggs, 65, and her family have survived three Auckland floods in 10 months – but the same can’t be said for her Mt Roskill home.
“The house flooded in March last year. Water came up underneath the house, and down the roof. I ended up having to buy a new roof,” Beggs said.

Water Rates
Hi everyone
I have a question or two??? How does one read a water rates bill? I rent and i tell you what. I have had varying accounts of water bills. I can't seem to get my head around them. I think i do need to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. I have asked my property manager to … View moreHi everyone
I have a question or two??? How does one read a water rates bill? I rent and i tell you what. I have had varying accounts of water bills. I can't seem to get my head around them. I think i do need to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. I have asked my property manager to please explain and don't really get much sense from there. I do know that the fixed amount is paid by the Land Lord. But the rest is mumbo jumbo to me. It tends to go up and down like a yo yo. I also know that the water meter is read and estimated. But what i have a problem with is that watercare in doing so helps themselves when its estimated to quite a bit of your funds which i think that they think that you have a money tree out back specially for them and charge you heaps and then the next thing you know you go into credit??? what the hack. Credits fine but they have my money. What do you guys think and who can figure this thing out for me. Thanks all. Julia
