The first attempt
was in 2005. At the time, the hazard lines were deferred in
order to first develop a wider Coastal Strategy which was
finalised in 2006. Although this strategy discusses hazards
management, it does not identify any hazard lines.
The
second attempt was in 2012. This time, Council placed 50 and
100-year hazard lines on 1800 properties on the coast by way
of the Land Information Memorandum (LIM). In addition,
Council introduced the policy of managed retreat,
threatening to withdraw water, stormwater and sewerage
services from the 1800 homes even before their land or
buildings would suffer damage. Moreover, Council were
developing rules and restrictions around the hazard lines
Press Release – Kapiti Coast District Council
Nearly 300 residents in the Hautere/Te Horo community on the Kāpiti Coast are being advised to boil their tap water before use as a precautionary measure following the recent heavy rainfall.
Infrastructure Services Group Manager Sean Mallon says that the poor weather conditions have made the water turbidity higher than normal.
“High turbidity makes it harder for the treatment process to kill all the micro-organisms that might be in the water and this can make the water unsafe to drink. Because of this, we are advising residents who access the Hautere/Te Horo public water supply to boil all water used for drinking, making up infant formula or ice, preparing food and cleaning teeth as a precautionary measure.
