Impacts on other communities

Communities will be affected by changes to water services in different ways. The other councils included in Options 1 and 2 are consulting with their own communities on a range of potential options for their future water services.

We have financial modelling available on our website that provides more detail about each council. However, during their consultations, they will also explore other factors, such as potential impacts on council services and their communities.

We encourage you to read their consultation documents when considering which option to support in your submission.

We’re hoping to have a fact sheet from each council outlining their current water services, current water related debt, and major investments in the coming decades. We'll upload them to this page as they become available.

It’s important Palmerston North residents have your say in our consultation so that our elected members can continue to advocate for you. However, you are also welcome to make submissions on other councils’ consultations.

We’re also happy to chat to people in other council boundaries about Palmerston North’s situation and what potential changes to water services might mean for our community. You can come to our drop-in sessions, make a submission on our consultation, and chat to us on Facebook.
