Sharon Clair - Water is a Public good
Sharon Clair addressing a public forum on water
Last Wednesday night(3rd May) I joined
Sharon Clair from the CTU as a guest
speaker at a public forum on water.
It was a delight to hears Sharon's views on
water in the context of "The Treaty". She is
an articulate voice for community building
and speaks with a passion about a
"fair and just society" and water as public
property. Here is a strong woman
who needs to be heard more often.
Sharon brings the best of Maori traditions while
embracing the wider community - another
outstanding Wellingtonian.

Pepps ironically I think this is a good idea. People waste water big time. They drench their caricature McGardens with water, they run the tap full blast in the kitchen as they wander around looking for a glass, ...
I'm planning to install my own water container, small, probably about 1000 litres, mainly for emergency purposes, on the Peninsula there is no natural water supply. I'll rotate that water from the city supply but in an emergency I'll be able to collect water off my roof.
The council won't be thinking of it this way, but in a round about way charging idiots who waste vast amounts of water, for it, might make them sit up and think about the resource they take for granted.
