Photo / FileThe Hawke's Bay region has been granted $50 million from the Government's stimulus package towards projects in Three Waters services - drinking water, wastewater and stormwater. Hastings District Council received the largest portion of the pie, with $15.36m granted for the council's drinking water upgrade programme. The project is the final major component of the drinking water upgrade work for urban supplies. "Around $11.1m will be allocated to upgrades to the main urban drinking water supply, adding to the $55.6m investment we are already making." In Wairoa, $11.04m will be used to improve the safety and quality of drinking water services by replacing old or compromised critical water mains.
