But now, the Government’s Local Water Done Well policy means all councils must consider and consult on future water service options. After careful review, we’ve narrowed it down to two:
🔹 Option 1 – Keep our water services in-house (our preferred option).
We’d continue to manage water services in-house, with a few changes to meet regulation requirements. This would keep costs lower in the short to medium term while retaining full ownership and control.
🔹 Option 2 – A joint council-owned water services organisation with Horowhenua, Manawatū and Palmerston North.
Our water assets would be transferred to the new organisation. There will be higher costs initially, but water charges are projected to align with Option 1 by 2047.
Watch the video below to learn more, or visit our consultation page for details. Click here to share your thoughts before midnight, 13 April:
We’re also hosting a webinar and drop-in sessions where you can ask questions and chat with elected members.
Your voice matters let’s shape the future of Kāpiti’s water together.

TE HORO HALL – what’s up in April?

NIGHT LIGHTS GARDEN WALK: APRIL 11th & 12th
Meadowcroft Garden, 722 Otaki Gorge Road.
After fabulous feedback from visitors last year, Neil and Avis MacInnes are again opening their special garden at night in two weeks’ time. SAVE the DATES!
Clever lighting brings the garden alive after dark and provides an opportunity to see another side of this unique garden. Very popular in daylight, the garden is usually only opened at night to friends and family, so this is an opportunity you should not miss.
On both FRIDAY 11th & SATURDAY 12th of April Meadowcroft garden will open to all from 7pm – last entry 9.30pm. $15pp and $5 for children under 12 years (cash only please).
Off road parking will be available.
This year the exterior of Te Horo Hall needs to be reclad (Stage 2 of the Hall renovations). The entry fee will contribute to this work – your support is much appreciated.
Please note:
Due to water features and reduced lighting the garden is not suitable for young children, and no pets are allowed. Special care is required with steps, sloping pathways and ponds. While every effort has been made by the owners to ensure the garden and car parks safety, visitors enter at their own risk.
And – in case of bad weather, please go to our website on Thurs 10th April, to check if the event is going ahead – www.tehorohall.org.nz...
A BIG THANK-YOU to Neil and Avis for making their garden available again this year, and to the neighbouring Mansell family for use of their paddock for car parking.
SEE YOU THERE!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
