Water fees feedback

FNDC is currently seeking public feedback on proposed changes to water and wastewater services. The council is proposing to adopt a district-wide charge for water services and another for wastewater, which would see all those with access to water and/or wastewater schemes pay the same targeted rates. This would see the increasing costs associated with renewing Three Waters infrastructure spread evenly among all those with access to council services, and would not affect properties not connected to council schemes. While some ratepayers would experience an increase in targeted water and wastewater rates, most property owners would see charges decrease. Property owners can see how the proposal could impact their water charges over the next four financial years, and have their say at: fndc.govt.nz. To submit feedback by email, contact: submissions@fndc.govt.nz. Submissions close on February 16.
