| 1. Do you have any feedback on the IAWAI Water Services Strategy? |
Yes I do
1 Water charges will not be based on house valuations. Govt valuations are a red herring and nothing more Whether I have a $5M house or a $500,000 house, I still get water in, water out, wee and poos out etc. Everybody is thew same Everybody will be charged the same 2 The 30% charge as part of rates now, will remain the same but charged separately. There will be no increase for water this term Therefore rates will decrease by 30% and be raised by 14.5% in August 2026 3 There must be no waivering for IWI |
