TDC will hold a community meeting to discuss the future of the Dovedale Rural Water Scheme on 22 February.
All users of the water scheme will be invited directly by Council.
"The purpose of this community meeting is to provide early notice of the rural water treatment plant upgrade provisions in the Long Term Plan 2018-2028 (LTP) and to provide information on a range of possible upgrade options, cost estimates and the impact on water charges. [...] "
"The proposed 2018-2028 LTP includes funding for the Dovedale Valley scheme to be upgraded to the New Zealand Drinking Water Standard (NZDWS), which is a minimum requirement of the recommendations from the Havelock North Stage 2 Enquiry." (from the meeting description)
If you are on the Dovedale scheme, but have not yet received an email invitation yourself, contact us and we will help you to get your email address added to the list of Dovedale scheme users.
Given the history of and ongoing issues with the water scheme, this could well prove a very important meeting, so all users of the scheme should be sure to attend.
