KEPT IN DARK OR JUST A PIPE DREAM
Someone or some people are responsible inside and/or connected with the Upper Hutt City Council for the state of affairs that currently point to an infrastructure fallout.
Whilst millions and millions of dollars from rates have gone on sports facilities and an upgraded public swimming pool we didn't really need/could do without, our basic water supply to residents is drying up and draining away from a pipe system that has been in a dire state for years and years.
Has any councillor including Mayor and Deputy Mayor past and present alerted the city and us in the city to this and thus opposed any major non-emergency undertakings by Council?
Has any staff person or Council-contracted company or individual made serious overtures to the mayor and his Councillors over the years as to the state of play as the Council ticked-off another non-urgent, not really required amenity completed or on its way to construction?
Mayor Wayne Guppy seemed genuinely shocked that Upper Hutt is the worse-off area in the region for a leaking water supply system in a region that is harbouring such a severely serious and expensive issue. At first - only a couple of months age - Guppy just wouldn't accept the assessment.
Meanwhile a 24/7 water leak in busy Ward Street which went unfixed for almost 4 months, has now been seemingly repaired. Perhaps it was just a faulty or disintegrated toby.
Heads should roll over this.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
