Notice of Motion - For the investigation of an Auckland Council policy on rainwater collection tanks to promote water conservation and protect the health of Auckland's streams

 

Documents titled ‘Business Case Rainwater Harvesting, Auckland’ and ‘Rain Water Policy’ were tabled. A copy of the tabled documents have been placed on the official minutes and are available on the Auckland Council website as a minutes attachment.

 

 

Resolution number KT/2019/171

MOVED by Member A Tyler, seconded by Chairperson J Gillon:  

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

a)        receive the tabled advice from council staff, noting the work currently underway regarding rainwater collection.

b)        request that Watercare significantly enhance its existing promotion of rainwater collection tanks to all of its customers.

c)        request council staff provide a briefing in the new term of the local board on rainwater collection.

d)        note that a standard policy of at least one rainwater collection tank per property would significantly support both Auckland Council’s and the Kaipātiki Local Board’s objectives of improving stream health as stated in:

i)       Auckland Council’s website under its Wai Ora – Healthy Waterways program: “maintain or improve the quality of freshwater within their region” and “protect freshwater’s ability to support life, ecosystem processes and indigenous species”.

ii)      And in the Kaipātiki Local Board Plan 2017 Outcome 2 “Cleaner waterways. We want to improve the quality of our freshwater and marine aquatic environment in Kaipātiki”.

e)        note the tabled letter from Brett Stansfield (Appendix A), Fresh Water Ecologist and consultant for Environmental Impact Assessments Ltd, endorsing rain water collection tanks for the purpose of promoting the health of our fresh water ecology, building water conservation awareness, and reducing pressure on Auckland’s reservoirs.

f)         note the board’s concern that the metered volumetric fee system operated by Watercare may not be ensuring that strategies which may reduce reliance on mains water supply (like domestic rainwater collection) are prioritised or considered as part of resilience planning for the security of Auckland’s water supply.
