A LEAK GONE VIRAL
A water leak in public places has become a major controversy because of all the talk about water shortages and old town water pipes not being renewed.
Upper Hutt, which was not previously so much in the firing line, has suddenly emerged as the worse area in the Wellington region for water wastage according to a report. But this far from true says UH Mayor Wayne Guppy who is also much opposed to water metering as a solution. And I would tend to agree strongly with Guppy on both counts.
However I stepped over a very obvious water leakage in Ward Street, Wallaceville about a month ago and popped into the property next to the leaking pipe which happened to be a dairy store and the owner said he had already advised the Upper Hutt City Council. You might have to wait a few weeks before any action, I told him. Too true. As of October 30 still no repair job. Oh, well leak-on while us ratepayers wait for our local taxes to increase due to rising water and sewerage reticulation costs.
