Clarification to Guardian Article, Wednesday 19 September, about the Taxpayers’ Union’s Ratepayer’s Report:

The information request from the Taxpayers’ Union for the average residential rates was not ‘refused for a second year running’. Council advised the Taxpayers’ Union that there would be a charge to provide the information, as collating this is a time-consuming manual process within our system. Charging for the work would reduce the burden of cost away from ratepayers. The Taxpayers’ Union declined the charge and were not provided with the information.

Some plumbing fittings have the potential to allow minute traces of metals to accumulate in water standing in the fittings for several hours. 

Although the health risk is small, the Ministry of Health recommends that you flush a mugful of water from your drinking-water tap each morning before use to remove any metals that may have dissolved from the plumbing fittings. 

We recommend this simple precaution for all households, including those on public and private water supplies.
