    When I was about 4 years old ... My parents built a new house in a small rural town in Southland. The last thing to be installed was a 5000 litre WATER tank. A town supply was not connected until 20 years later.

    Even in Southland there were droughts ... and I remember a few times we had to buy water to put in the tank. The guy arrived with the tanker and pumped it into the tank.


    Most houses in many rural areas had a water bore or piped from a spring to their tank. Many still have AND USE their water bore.

    All either done by ... and/or paid for ... by the home owners.

    I'm sure they will be pleased to see "Three Waters" coming around to upgrade their systems.

    I'm on tank water at home in Dunedin and here on Stewart Island. It is fucking third world. Laughed when I saw an Oxfam advert raising money for wells in Africa.

    Oh how I would like the right to turn the tap on and have water provided to me. I don't see it as a basic human right. Basic human need definitely, like shelter, but a right?

    I work on the Salmon farm out in Big Glory bay. I've been working there just over 5 years now, 7 days on and 7 off (I'm off this week).

    It wasn't that long ago ... you needed your own generator if you wanted electric ANYTHING in your home. Most seemed to have an old Gardner engine ... often one out of a fishing boat. If you think it's third world now ...

    And it's not third world prices at the Four Square ...

    i think he said declaring it a right was "extreme" or words to that effect.

    When was the tender done for that job again?

    however, the review. Instead, it says that key errors made at the beginning of the Transmission-Gully Project, when it switched from being a public sector led project to a PPP back in 2012, have led to lasting problems with the projec

    So who are you blaming for that?

    What parts of the Trans Gully contract has the Government changed? What parts of Trans Gully construction has the private sector consortium tasked with building it have failed, gone massively over budget, have to be redone, failed to meet deadlines ?
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    Role model? I was implying he's an arsehole. He wants to sell everybody bottled water his company paid fuck all for. We have councils in this country who basically give water to overseas companies. Ashburton is one such I believe. They are making 'three waters' look like a good option. Not much else does yet though.
