Water Use
- Please make your views on the future of our water supply known by completing the Water Review Survey.
A reliable supply of water is key to the wellbeing of our region. The Council’s Sustainable Water Use Strategy (see Water Matters - KCDC Sustainable Water Management Strategy - PDF, 39 pages, 685 KB) has a 50 year focus and is concerned with reducing demand for water, while investing in new infrastructure for the supply of water to the community.
The goals as outlined in the Sustainable Water Use Strategy were further refined in the Kapiti Coast District Council 2009 Long Term Community Plan. Large sections of the community contributed to the development of this plan, reflecting the importance people on the coast attach to this issue.
A number of practical Council initiatives on water are already available to the community and these are listed in the menu on the left. Our water is precious. Let us work together to ensure all people in the district have reliable access to clean water, now and in the future.
