Rural house number scheme
Soon every house in the Waimarino county wards will have a "rural number". Federated Farmers representative Micheal Condon and five others will make up three teams to visit all rural homes to give each a number and to gather data on their respective location. The purpose of the number is to make locating a house easier in an emergency for such people as the fire service, though almost anyone who needs to find a particular rural house will find the system beneficial. The fire service will store the data so that in an emergency the number of the rural property is call that is necessary for a fire fighting team to correctly locate the property. No two rural numbers will be the same, with the Waimarino numbers starting at 3000. The numbers will be allocated consecutively from the start of a road regardless of which side of the road a house is situated.
