Punakaiki residents assured water pipes will be fixed before tanks run dry

Council chief executive Sharon Mason confirmed the council had reported the damage to police. About 150 people live in Punakaiki, but more than 500,000 tourists visited the region each year pre-Covid, including 6500 a day during peak season. The council had been taking water from the property since 1988 under a verbal agreement with the previous landowner. The current resource consent, issued by the West Coast Regional Council in 2010, allowed the district council to take up to 345,600 litres a day. Landowners Edgar Rochwalski and Janice Lee said the council did not own the dam, or access rights to the dam.

Buller mayor believes handsaw used to damage Punakaiki water supply

STUFF A West Coast tourist town is reliant on water supplied from private land. But the owners and the Buller District Council are at odds, putting the supply at risk. (Video first published January 2020.) A West Coast tourism hotspot’s water supply, which is subject to a dispute between the landowners and the local council, has been damaged in what appears to be a deliberate attack. The Buller District Council is seeking to compulsory purchase the land at Punakaiki where the township’s water supply has been drawn from since 1988. The landowners are unhappy with an independent valuation of $330 for the 25 square metres of land and related easements on another 365sqm.

The current resource consent issued by the West Coast Regional Council in 2010 allows the district council to take up to 345,600 litres a day. The couple say they never consented to the council accessing or taking water from their land.
