A Moutere Water Supply?

This is for anybody living in the Moutere Valley, Braeburn, Gardner Valley, Harakeke who is concerned about sufficient and secure domestic water supply.

The Braeburn Water Scheme Committee (BWSC) previously formed in 2001 to apply for use of a locally available aquifer bore to create a reticulated water supply in the area is now about to re-form to address this issue again.

The existing bore had previously been sold by TDC to an adjacent landowner, preventing use by the public. But since a recent review of actual water use from this aquifer has shown that current allocations are not being used, the opportunity is now showing to create a new stock and domestic water scheme.

This will only happen if residents get involved. TDC has set a cut-off date for 11 March 2014 so time is short to secure this option.

If you are interested, join the group's meeting on 1 March 2014 at 10am at the Moutere Hills Community Centre.
