Rangataua Sewer plan loss leads to connection problems
Rangataua property owners trying to connect to the township's sewerage system are having problems doing so and there is little at this stage that the council can do to help. So said Ruapehu District Council services asset manager Gordon Gillespie. He told the Waimarino Community Board at their October meeting that the council does not have any "asbuilt information regarding the laterals" to the scheme, nor is there a copy of the original contract documents on file. "It is not possible therefore to determine if the contrac-
tor was supposed to provide this information in the first place," he stated in his report. "Residents are having to incur additional expense in these cases by having to get their plumber to search for the lateral before a connection can be made," he said. Many parts of the sewer are buried as much as six metres deep. A report was to be presented to the board at their meeting regarding further searches for the information, but Mr Gillespie was not present.
