water pipes leaking yet again
Again we have no water at all, not one drop. Again our water has been turned off by the council to repair dodgy water pipes.
Again we had no warning of this going to happen so we could ensure we at least had a supply of water so we could drink, wash & cook food.
This has been going on for years - can you tell we are over it!
Instead of patching up the old pipes, as the old council did, this new Council needs to take some responsibility in replacing the pipes.
We voted this council in so these issues would be resolved.
There is always a solution to every problem. In this case its replacing the pipes not patching them up again and again and again.
Come on Council - use our rates money to sort this issue out on Hospital Hill - we are in Ormond Road and we are over the inconvenience and downright lack of respect in not being given any warning we will, once again, find we have no water supply.

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
Find out more about the scheme online.
