Wellington's Water Meter Bill: A Massive Jump
Description
Wellingtons water infrastructure project faces a massive price hike, with Tiaki Wai set to take over from July. The new system aims to switch from property value-based payments to actual water use, with smart meters to detect leaks and reduce demand. However, local leaders express concerns over the unfair burden on ratepayers and question Tiaki Wais capabilities. The increased cost is attributed to addressing complex challenges like hilly homes and busted pipes, as well as building new systems. Tiaki Wai is working on further planning to finalize costs and maximize value.
