WATER USAGE

Don from Parklands - Marshlands

So how many fortunate people are exempt from any water bills because their property shares a water meter ?

Checking for some people who were concerned that they could be charged excesses, but don't have a computer, I was presented from the COUNCIL web site, on several searches ""This property shares a water meter with at least one other property, so we can’t calculate its water usage. The Excess Water Supply Targeted Rate doesn’t apply to properties with shared meters.""
So should people feel outraged that this water charge selects only those who have their own dedicated water meter. Should the council have to declare how many people WILL NOT BE CHARGED, either because they have shared meters and those that the council hasn't even put a water meter that the council is not even able to record that water meter.
Instead of the polls we get thrust upon us which accomplish ZILCH, an opportunity for them to get this anomaly corrected seems to me necessary.
{I am whistling in the wind I know}. If you have a neighbour on a shared meter, or doesn't have a meter, just get them to allow you to use their hoses to top up your water usage and so evade a water bill until the council decides they should treat all people fairly. Cheers all.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
