International Springs Ltd is currently renovating the old coca cola factory and what appears to be the entire industrial site in Refreshment Place Trentham.
I have contacted GWRC and UHCC and it appears that there are no current applications to extract water for export. However another source tells me that consent to extract 180 million litres per year has been granted.
Water bottling companies sneak in under the radar so that the public and the councils have no power to stop them as we have seen in Christchurch.
Upper Hutt is the catchment for Wellington water and I think we have a responsibility to ensure that the river and the aquifer are protected.
It's time for some law changes.

Cannabis club opens in Wellington

Matt Tso Reporter from Upper Hutt Leader

Is the opening of a cannabis club where marijuana can be bought and used a sign of an increasingly relaxed attitude towards the drug in New Zealand?

Long-term road safety data from NZTA suggests speed limits on almost 90 per cent of the country's roads are too high and should be lowered.
