Proposed Water Supply and Wastewater Network Bylaw

Resolution number MR/2015/20

MOVED by Deputy Chairperson SP Brown, seconded by Member DJ McCormick:

That the Manurewa Local Board

a) provide the following feedback to the proposed Water Supply and Wastewater network Bylaw:

i) welcomes moves to consolidate and modernise the rules regulating the provision of water supply and the treatment of waste water

ii) note the intention is to protect the public water supply and waste water networks from damage, misuse and interference

iii) acknowledge that this is significant work and requires time

iv) note that there has been a practice in older areas of the Auckland isthmus of running the stormwater into the wastewater network

v) note that the practice is out of step with modern principles of stormwater management which call for low impact design

vi) note that this practice is no longer supported in the context of the Auckland Plan and that the practice can be seen as tantamount to misuse of the wastewater network

vii) recommend phasing out stormwater being added into the wastewater network in the modern era because:

1) of the risks to public and environmental health which arise when there are overflows into local creeks and harbours at times of heavy rainfall; and

2) because the practice is financially expensive as it results in a very much larger volume of water being required to be transported and then treated through the wastewater network

viii) recommend the proposed bylaw be strengthened to require that all practicable steps are taken to avoid ‘overflow’ or ‘discharges’ of wastewater into the streams

ix) recommend the bylaw require that great care be exercised in any restricting of the supply of water due to non-payment

x) delegate the authority to the Chair and Deputy Chair to speak on its behalf at the hearings into the water supply and wastewater network bylaw.
