Local Water Done Well

Water reforms are back on the agenda across the motu, including here in Kāpiti.

Soon we’ll be inviting your feedback on two options for how we deliver our drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater services in the future under the Government’s Local Water Done Well policy. The options will be either keeping our water services in-house or teaming up with Palmerston North City Council, Horowhenua District Council, Manawatū District Council and Kāpiti to form a joint council-owned water services organisation.

Palmy and Horowhenua have started consulting with their communities this week. Our consultation will be opening in March.

In the meantime, take a deep dive into our water and how we currently supply safe drinking water across our District, and find out what Local Water Done Well means for Kāpiti.
