Other requests 2. Hall re-roofing: Full replacement Meeting our vision: Appropriate infrastructure and basic services Update: • Thank you to Maureen Lambert (HCDG) and James Adamson (MDC). • Work done this year has been effective so far i.e. Flashing between the main roof and the added on piece, fixing the leak in the supper room, work around the fireplace and chimney, the leaking and falling off guttering over the back kitchen window and the flooding that was occurring. Maureen met with Trev (Plumber) 18 th Nov • 2019 and the following was discussed:
Other requests 2. Hall re-roofing: Full replacement Meeting our vision: Appropriate infrastructure and basic services Issue Description Action Front left hand side of hall. Large amount of grass Gutter is old and the join material has probably Grass in gutter and leaking growing in gutter, bending the gutter. Birds are getting perished – all gutters need replacing and bird gutter in behind the guttering. proofing done between roof and gutter. When it rains the water leaks through the joins in the gutter from the side door to front corner of hall. In winter water lies on the path most of the time. The downpipe on the front right hand side of the hall Needs concrete path cut and a pipe put in that Water from downpipe does not have a sump so the water pours across the joins onto a drainpipe that runs along the path footpath. and goes into the stormwater The wood on the back side of the parapet is in a poor Boards need to be replaced. Condition of the parapet condition and not watertight (rotten boards). The flagpole is attached to that and is used. Summary: We would like the re-roof to remain on the longer-term-plan, however for 2020/21 we would the to submit for funding for the above to be done.

Wastewater Centralisation In a nutshell: • Piping untreated or pre-treated wastewater from 6 villages (Halcombe, Sanson, Rongotea, Awahuri, Cheltenham and Kimbolton) to the Feilding Wastewater Treatment Plant (FWWTP). • Estimated distance = 73km of pipework. • Cost $10m. • Saving $20m over 30 years = $666,667 per year. • The FWWTP has the capacity for X number of houses and Y more ‘Ovations’.
Wastewater Centralisation Earthquake prone buildings: • The Manawatū District has been identified as a high risk area with regards to earthquakes in New Zealand. Ohakea Foam Nightmare: • $12.8m to pipe water to the affected properties (19 – 23 properties based on media reports). • Assumption is they will need less than 73km of pipe.
Wastewater Centralisation OUR QUESTIONS: • All eggs into 1 basket – ‘High -risk ’ area for earthquakes yet we’re planning to run pipelines all over the countryside. It seems counter-intuitive. • Mention has also been made of piping drinking water ‘out’ to the villages when this is done. Cost effective, yes… low risk, no. • $ 10m cost…really ?? • Land based discharge options (Horowhenua examples)? • Alternative technology options? No other options were presented in the LTP 2018-28. • What happens in 50 years when capacity in Feilding runs out? Where to then? • Capital connection charges – how will these become less when we have to start paying for another asset (asset extension) from scratch again??
Wastewater Centralisation We believe this project was ‘lost’ in the 2018 -28 LTP. We ask that Council re-look at the feasibility and logic of this project – ideally re-consulting with the communities before going any further.
