Confirmation of the reason for water charge

This is the section from the draft plan 23/24 and states
"A change to our Excess Water Supply Targeted Rate
The main reason we've introduced the Excess Water Supply Targeted Rate(external link) to help reduce the extreme demand on our water supply network at certain times, particularly over summer. If we can do this, it means we won't have to spend as much money upgrading and building new infrastructure to cope with the extreme demand".
It is not to save the overall usage of water for the rest of the year.
This is not to recoup the extra costs as the system can not pump more than 100%. The water pressure would drop and need restrictions that would apply to everyone, even without meters. Totally fair and very few costs involved, eg meter readings, sending out accounts, receiving payments, disputes over charges anon.
what was wrong with the old system and why was this raised at all?
The way I see it, they have just created a whole costly system to be paid for by the money they are collecting for the scheme. IMO

Poll: Should we scrap daylight saving?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Sunday we'll be putting our clocks back for the end of daylight saving. Despite the benefits of an extra hour of sun during daylight saving, these clock changes commonly bring disruptions to our households and sleep - some feel that it should be scrapped altogether. What do you think?

Education after the next election?

When oh when are politicians going to stop using the basics of life as a political bribe?
Education, Health, Law, and order should all be banned from being used, instead, they should be bilateral to ensure the confidence of the people in them.
In education, it would keep the costs down, as reinventing the wheel, chopping and changing does nothing for the teachers, pupils, and parents who often can not help to teach children as the rules have changed.
Health and Law and order should be tied to population/inflation and should increase as the population/inflation rises.
