lets talk water 2
Serious question time :- also potential trigger alert ....
Water Services - all councils:-
We the community have paid in good faith, the value the officials have set for the cost to provide and maintain the services. There are specific lines in the rates invoices and information provided by said councils to state as such.
When a service provider is paid for a service are we not entitled to have that service provided? - if it was a cleaner for your home? a mechanic for your car? or the accountant for your business? if you have paid you have a right to that service being delivered as advertised - agreed??
If that service is not delivered - we also have rights to have the issues rectified or the full services delivered at no further cost - agreed? There are usually rules around this for all businesses and operations.
Why should our councils be exempt from any culpability in the failure to provide the services they have offered, charged for, and have been paid to provide?
Collectively we the public are the employer of the councils and pay for the services they advise they can provide.
If we the aggrieved in these transactions actually band together - would we not have more collective power to enforce such actions required to ensure the power to get these services actioned and done as per what we have all collectively paid for?
I suggest we all duly keep paying the rates invoices as set - MINUS anything to do with the water part - reset any auto payments and deduct anything stated as gwrc or water services - until such time as our collective councils have enacted the services they have been already paid for to provide.
And yes there is a "fix" to some of the issues all will say is that WW cant get around the leaks fast enough - so the suggestion is to subcontract to the local plumbing firms who have the capability to do the work - remove a huge bunch of red tape around that process and get people out fixing pipes - if WW obviously does not have the capacity - the councils need to get other contractors in.
WW is only another arm of our collective councils - whole sale owned by our 6 council orgs in the Wgtn region and paid profits to exist. Let some local businesses get some work and get the job done!
Collectively we have the power to ensure our councils behave in the manner in which they were voted to be there.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!

What is it?
