Water plant ready for your appraisal
Concepts for Hastings’ Waiaroha water treatment and storage facility have been released for public feedback today by Hastings District Council.
The primary purpose of the facility, on the corner of Southampton St East and Hastings St South, is to enable Hastings to meet national drinking water standards through enhanced water safety, improved resilience, and additional capacity
The community can provide feedback between August 28 and September 25 on-line at www.myvoicemychoice.co.nz... by mail to Private Bag 9002, Hastings 4156, or by handing it in at Council’s reception in Lyndon Rd.
An open day displaying the concepts will be held on September 12, with staff and councillors on hand to discuss the plans. The information will also be widely available through media and on-line.

61.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
