Update #2: Chlorination of water supply in Lower Hutt (13 April 2017)
Yesterday, one of the wells in the Waterloo well field had a positive e-coli result. The good news is that tests today (Thursday 13 April) have come back negative, however Wellington Water will continue to chlorinate the water and test this bore and bores throughout the city, so your water supply will remain chlorinated over the long weekend.
Pending further investigation, and advice from Regional Public Health, Hutt City Council have closed the unchlorinated public water supply bores at Buick Street, and Dowse Square. Until we get approval, both public bores will be closed as a precautionary measure.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
