Water tank charge hike in rural Auckland

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

From March 1, it will cost rural communities more to fill up their water tanks.

The cost to fill a tanker with 10,000 litres of water will rise by about $25 from $13.86 to $39 (+GST).

It reflects the cost of providing water at filling stations- a service which has been heavily subsidised for many years, Watercare says.

The new charge comes into force during the summer peak to reduce pressure on rural and coastal communities.

For those of you in rural Auckland on tank water, what is your view on the increase?

And your reasons?

Please put NFP if you do not want your comments used by Stuff.

Tense Argument with Neighbour

Anthony from Saint Johns

Can MEN have Babies?
Apparently so says Kevin Mc Cready.
I got in this fellas face a bit yesterday about his attendance at a protest in Albert Park where 72 Yr old Lady was Assaulted by a 20+ Male?

I will call stuff out when I know it's wrong.
The MSM had denied many Kiwis the truth about many things & sharing the following message to Kevin is so others can see what happened on that day.
In Albert Park "Let Women Speak" & the counter Kult of transextremism.

-Kevin, you put me in the filth basket as an anti vaxxer 2+ years ago

You discriminated against my self and others without any real evidence to back up your concerns! You were literally a narrative robot, as I recall.

But I am here continue to be alive unvaxxed and contributing to my community.
You show an interest in similar, and that's a fair call & I can put differences aside for the greater community, especially around waste n composting etc.

But defending your support for an egenda that is only causing more division, is violent against old ladies. Is low n ignorant at best.

I hope these accorns weigh a lil on your ethics & you consider re evaluating what it is to be human.

From above

You were with a violent mob of an extreme radicals
Who out numbered bullied a small group of Women who wanted to speak be heard and address their concerns.
Rather than accept offers of debate or discussion you joined in the Mob, "Go home Posey" - in your own words.

I wonder if you will watch any of these coz the excuse of ass holes on both sides is true but not calling it out in your camp when there were so may of you supporting screaming etc, (which is in no way a free speech activity)
Is just straight up Bullying
I know few young people that are now ashamed at participating in that event, maybe u will be too.

But I won't hold my breath.
