Drops Not Dropping Off

Michael from Trentham

Almost two months since first observed and still water is pouring 24/7 over the pavement through a leaky council water pipe.

The culprit is outside a dairy in Ward Street, Wallaceville. And the victims are the hundreds of people passing through daily as well as those who feel obliged to save water by not cleaning their vehicle or sprinkler watering their gardens and lawns.

Oh yes, the UHCC knows about it, and physically a council staffer/contractor turned up several weeks ago and beautifully marked the spot.

If this is typical, then shame on you local council.

Perhaps, this leak is just the tip of the iceberg as disintegrating piping may be revealed.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
