Waimea Dam 25 million cost over run

Cathy from Richmond

How are other ratepayers feeling about this recent announcement that ratepayers in the Tasman region are being lined up for funding a further 25 million towards a dam for a few large irrigators on the Waimea Plains. In less than 3 years Ratepayers contribution has esculated from $26.8 million to $61.8 million. A 130% increase. Councillors have indicated that this is not the end of the cost over runs. Ratepayers are being used as a bottomless purse to subsidise commercial irrigation on the Plains. Time to call a HALT to this now and for a full review of this reckless folly.
