Use of dowsing

B. White made this Official Information request to Carterton District Council

The request was successful.

From: B. White

Tēnā koutou,

I am interested in the use of dowsing techniques by employees and contractors used by your council when working with water, e.g. pipe leaks, water sources, etc.

Please release the following information:

1. If any Council or Council Controlled Organisations staff use dowsing as part of their job

2. If any contractors employed by Council use dowsing as part of their work when engaged by the Council

3. If any dowsing companies explicitly offering dowsing services have been engaged by the Council.

4. For any of the above, what costs were incurred by the Council.

Please give me this information for as long as records are available.

If any part of my request is unclear, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Ngā mihi,

B. White

Dear Hayley Burgess,

There is a little ambiguity in the response provided and I would like to clarify this point.

Can you please clarify that the use of No 8 wire in locating laterals is by using the wire for dowsing, or by some other method.

Ngā mihi nui,

B. White

Morning,

Sorry for the delay in responding.
Garry has confirmed the No 8 wire is just used for dowsing, no other method.

Kind Regards,
