A Conserve Water Notice has been issued for the Awamoko Supply, due to work on one of the main lines from the pump station to scheme reservoirs. The water supply is expected to be back to normal by the 18th of September.
Changing the funding of solid waste activity after the closure of Oamaru Landfill.
Why are we doing this? We intend to replace the Oamaru Landfill with a new refuse transfer station in 2016, a decision we made in 2012 after consulting with the community.
After paying for the costs of the landfill we have had about $300,000 left each year to offset the costs of other waste facilities. This funding will stop when the landfill closes.
