Poll: What's your preference for Hamilton's water services?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Some say a joint Hamilton city-Waikato district waters operation lets councils think beyond “lines on a map” and could help support more housing.

Others have big doubts about the details or want the idea binned.

The city council on Monday announced 74% of more than 220 submissions supported having the two councils form a joint council controlled organisation (CCO) to run drinking water and wastewater services.

Bargain or big risk? Crown puts Huntly subsidence home on the market

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Crown-owned subsidence property has come on the market, but whether potential buyers reckon it’s a bargain or risky buy is yet to be seen.

While some might view the Huntly east property as a bargain, Huntly real estate agents reckoned living on top of the mining zone makes some buyers nervous they’re going to “just sink one day”. Although, the agents are fairly confident the area is safe.
