Water Supply Activity Management Plan 2009 - 2019

An activity management plan has been prepared for water supply and this identifies the condition of the assets, their performance, capacity and whether any capital (or non-capital) expenditure is required to meet the proposed levels of service or future demand. This is a long-term planning document and was adopted in June 2009 and is scheduled to be reviewed every three years. The budgets and timeframes provided in this plan form the basis of the Water Supply activity in the Council's Long Term Council Community Plan (LTCCP) and Annual Plans.
