Seems we're on the subject of water services in general at the moment.
Speaking of storm-water, (Kiwi will bite at the bit about this one) I'm told that digging soak-holes and filling them with stones and other things to effect drainage, under the Resource Management Act is now illegal.
That wouldn't worry most people in town,there is a seperate s/water system that takes it away, but those that live out in the more rural parts of NZ, or are intending to live there, this raises an interesting problem.
After you've complied with the rules and piped it off of your property, where is it supposed to go to?.
Not sure what drugs the RMA people had been smoking when they came up with this little gem.
Majority of folks here will just carry on as before and to be honest, there wouldn't be a Building Inspector here that would stand in thier way.
