6            Reports

6.1            Three Waters Renewals

1.              Purpose

For the Committee to be informed about the Three Water renewal priorities and the forward works programme.

NOTED

·        21 residents with rural properties on Chester Road receive potable water via the reticulated network.  These properties received a supply as the potable water originally came past their properties via a trunk line from Waingawa, down Chester Road onto State Highway 2, and into the Carterton urban area.

·        The supply from Waingawa was eventually shut off, with the town’s reticulated network being supplied with potable water from the Kaipaitangata Stream and underground bores in Lincoln Road and Frederick St.

·        CDC wouldn’t make residential connections from a trunk line now and is not accepting any new connections to the existing reticulated network on Chester Road.  

·        Previous and current management have spoken to affected land owners offering to install rainwater tanks with a filtration and UV system. To date, no affected land owners have accepted this alternative supply.

·        In order to cease the potable water supply on Chester Road either the residents need to be in agreement, or there is a referendum.
