Stormwater

The Future Ruapehu Community Outcomes Report 2005 process highlighted community priorities including safety, environmental sustainability and a clean and tidy community image. The Stormwater service aims to mitigate problems of flooding in urban areas that pose hazards to people, roads and the urban economy.

Council is required under the Local Government Act 2002 (Sections 125 and 127) to assess wastewater services (meaning stormwater and sewerage) and future demand on stormwater.
