Council elections; interesting candidates

[king1]

That's evidently most of them.

Not 100% correct, there are quite a few councils that have got it good.
Particularly in many small rural towns where they have good infrastructure.

Main centres may be different, but a few major councils have got it good.
Also for "technical support" if your drain is blocked on the street, you will have to call your nearest water authority which will be over 100km away from where we live.
Much better to deal with your local council dont you think?
BTW, there is a great deal of kiwis against 3 waters, except for those who live under shit councils who are happy for the rest of kiwis to pay for their mistakes.

Our water in all the main centres is perfectly safe to drink, the whole hawkes bay scandal was just an excuse for putting this legislation into practice.

This one is one of those long term thinking decisions that have to be made for the greater good of all New Zealanders. 

Water infrastructure is not up to standard in many areas and the problem is only going to get worse over time.   and then guess what will happen, we will be back to the good old postcode lottery for water quality, [sarcasm] a lottery which has served New Zealand  so well in the health sector [/sarcasm].

All I can say is it is about time some politicians have finally decided to start planning for all New Zealanders beyond the next election cycle...
