Wellingtonians will soon have water meters, if Mayor Andy Foster has how way.
As part of a sweeping series of reforms, a Mayoral taskforce report found Wellington City Council should transfer ownership of its $3.86 billion worth of pipes to Wellington Water, which would independently charge residents for water.
Removing pipes from the council’s books would mean rates could be slashed by as much as a third, though whether that would mean savings for ratepayers would depend on the level of metering charges.
Transformational change was needed in all parts of water management in order to future-proof the city, Foster said. “Tinkering around the edges is not going to do it.”

There are also two marks on the pieces - both shown on the photos.
No surprises when you do the jigsaw, I name all the faults.
Still it is a lovely puzzle to do.
