Featherston's water supply could fail
The pipe supplying drinking water to Featherston lies exposed and leaking in a riverbed.
Councillors have now been asked to approve up to $600,000 of unbudgeted funds to repair and reinforce it urgently.
If the works are not done in time and the pipe fails, Featherston residents will be without water, and South Wairarapa ratepayers could foot a bill of between $850,000 and $6.5 million for an emergency contingency plan to truck water in, depending on the nature and length of the outage and river conditions.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
