This is not a time to be adding extra houshold costs to those who do pay. How will the council get payment from those who do not pay - will they turn off their water - or will the extra costs be added to those responsible rate payers.

The ratepayers who elected this council indicated then that they did not want this issue to proceed, therefore it should not do so.

The council's decision is more inappropriate at this time in light of the probably creation of a Greater Wellington Council.

Do not proceed with the Water meter proposal.

Nolan Best went to the council at the time with his idea about damming an area which never dried up in the height of summer. He also wrote to the council 10 years ago, about a month before he passed away.

I grew up with water tanks and initially no town supply. we learnt to conserve water and ensure there was always enough. most years residents are proactive at being sensible with usage; watering gardens, car, etc. we have a lot of rain in the winter so perhaps this should be better captured. new houses should be built with water tanks/grey water, etc. to alleviate water shortage issues in the future.

My suggestion is: Use our existing rates more efficiently by desalinating the sea, storage tanks, building a dam, or a catchment lake.
