Option One
In-house, stand-alone model (the status quo) for the delivery of water services in the Manawatū District.
What is Local Water Done Well?
As part of the Government’s Local Water Done Well programme and new legislation, every council must consult with their communities to determine who will own, manage and deliver water services.
This is not a temporary decision and is one that will impact each of us for years to come. It is critical that share your opinion by making a submission.
What this means for our community:
Manawatū District Council is currently asking our community for feedback to ensure the final decision for the delivery of water services across the Manawatū District reflects the needs and expectations of the community.
At Council on Thursday 20 December, the following three consultation options were resolved to be used for consultation with option one being Council's preferred option.
Consultation Options
-
-
Option Two
A multi-council Water Services Council Controlled Organisation jointly between Manawatū District Council and Palmerston North City Council for the delivery of water services across both Councils.
-
Option Three
A multi-council Water Services Council Controlled Organisation jointly between Manawatū District Council, Palmerston North City Council, Horowhenua District Council and Kapiti Coast District Council for the delivery of water services across all Councils.
