Struggling to pay your Watercare bill
The Water Utility Consumer Assistance Trust provides financial support to residential customers of Watercare Services Ltd who are struggling to manage their water and/or wastewater costs. It is a charitable trust that receives funding from Watercare. The Trust can assist home owners and tenants (as long as there is a debt to Watercare and not the property manager or landlord).
The Trust is able to assist by setting up a payment plan to cover ongoing monthly Watercare invoices (the payments are made direct to Watercare) and the Trust is able to write off some, or all of the debt. The Trust also provides information on ways to save water, how to carry out a leak test, and other water saving incentives.
We have a website where an application form can be downloaded (www.waterassistance.org.nz) , and also have a Facebook page (Water Utility Consumer Assistance Trust). An application form can be emailed or posted (email: info@waterassistance.org.nz or send message via Facebook)
Poll: Could we live without public bins?
Many public rubbish bins are being removed by councils due to the large costs of regularly emptying them. Do you think we can adapt and live without them?

Great mahi from our friends at Life Education Counties Manukau
Our friends over at Life Education Counties Manukau parked up their mobile classroom and set up shop at Sutton Park School from March 18 to April 10. For these four weeks they worked with more than 500 Year 1 to 8 students, taking them through various health education lessons with specialist teacher, Carleen. With the school holidays underway it's a perfect opportunity for them to display their new knowledge at home.
We are proud to support Life Education, to help ensure these important health lessons are available to as many students as possible.
Ka Pai Life Education and Sutton Park School!
