A south Taranaki iwi says continuing sewage spills into coastal waters are intolerable.
Ngāti Ruanui has told a hearing on South Taranaki District Council s proposed long term plan that the best options to improve Hāwera s wastewater system had been chosen with iwi cooperation.
The iwi s submission said that solution must explicitly be added to the council s long term plan. For years we have seen continued pollution of our shellfish and overall harm to our reefs and the life-supporting capacity all of which is a direct result of the wastewater plant, including norovirus pollution.
