What are the options to manage Buller's drinking, storm and wastewater in the future?
Our district is facing a big decision: How should we manage our drinking water, stormwater, and wastewater in the future?
Watch this video to learn more about central government's Local Water Done Well legislation and the two options we need your input on to define a way forward for our district's water services.
Join the conversation on the future of Buller's drinking, storm and wastewater.
As part of the government's Local Water Done Well reform, we’re exploring two options for delivering water services in our district:
🔹 Option 1: Multi-Council-Controlled Organisation
A joint approach with Westland and Grey District Councils to share costs and improve service efficiency across the West Coast.
🔹 Option 2: Internal Business Unit
A stand-alone water service within the Buller District, operating separately from Council.
🔎 We’ve looked at the infrastructure, investments, staffing, and financial impacts of both options. Now we want to hear from you!
