Water Chlorination - a Rates Rise of 6.4% coming
The council want to know if we agree to their planned rates rise of 6.4%. Say "NO" to chlorinated water and "NO" to the rates rise if it means they continue chlorinating our water.
NCC has budgeted $20 million on water treatment plants etc but we still end up with all the CHLORINE PROBLEMS:
1) our natural immunity to illness undermined
2) painful skin conditions
3) discoloured water from the chlorine stripping biofilm from inside the pipes - which ends up, not in the gutter, as they used to do, but in our kitchen sinks.
This is our chance to tell this council we will NOT accept a rates rise. Don't be misled by the council’s website - Napier could safely follow the Christchurch example. For more information email Guardians of the Aquifer: p.doyle@hotmail.com
Submissions deadline Monday 13th May.
