: . H Taupo's lakeweed problem.One easy but expensive solution. I A 'T* "j* A statement from the Taupo Borough Council. Taupo residents have argued for years about : the effect of septic tanks on lakeweed growth. 5: While many residents still maintain septic tanks ■ do not in any way contribute to the growth of lakeweed, there is no doubt among the scientific community that they do. It has been estimated that if the lakeweed |j remains unchecked it could form a wide fringe § around the lake within a few years. Without the lake, Taupo would lose its H populanty. With its trout, boating and scenic attractions gone, property values would drop. p The tourist trade would fall away. f What then, is the solution? ' | To attack the weed with sprays or chemicals, | or to physically drag it out by the roots is only attacking the symptom of an illness. We must | take away the source of the lakeweed problem - | the seepage from septic tanks. ' d ' WF Taupo needs a proper sewerage reticulation system and treatment plant. To get it sooner Taupo residents should invest in the Taupo Borough Council Loan now. We will pay you 4.5% for 1 year, 4.75% for 2 years, 5% for 3 years, 5.25% for 4 years, 5.5% for 5 years, 5.75% for 6 years and 6.25% for I - 10 to 20 years. \ Contact ydur solicitor, trading bank, trustee savings bank, accountant or sharebroker for a prospectus or write: , r- — — — — — — ————— — ——— — — ——— — — — — — — — — — — — — ^ ! 1 — " : — ; 1 !
