Mr Wilson made this Official Information request to Upper Hutt City Council

The request was successful.

From: Mr Wilson

Dear Upper Hutt City Council,

On the webpage: https://upperhuttcity.com/water-drainage...

The following is published:
"Why are there restrictions when we’ve had so much rain?
It’s been very dry, and river levels have dropped quickly. We have stored water in lakes, but this needs to last the whole summer. We are also carrying out urgent work to our treatment plants, to ensure our water remains safe and healthy, which means we can’t supply as much water as normal."

1. What are the specific works regarding: "..urgent work to our treatment plants.."?

2. What are the specific factors and or measures that determine the appropriate average annual water consumption per dwelling is 215m3 pa?
Reference: 4.13 Water conservation policy - https://upperhuttcity.com/wp-content/upl...

3. What has been planned (in writing) to increase the amount of water available for provision to Upper Hutt house holds (that does not involve reduction of consumption)?

3.1 If planned, what are the planned (rough) or scheduled (specific) dates for works regarding item 3. above?

4. What has been planned (in writing) to address future occurrences of very dry weather and river levels dropping quickly (that does not involve reduction of consumption)?

4.1 If planned, what are the planned (rough) or scheduled (specific) dates for works regarding item 4. above?

5. Are there any plans (in writing) or have there been written communications in the last 12 months, regarding an increase in restrictions of water consumption for Upper Hutt house holds?

5.1 If the answer to item 5. above is yes, please supply these.

Mr Wilson
