Wastewater and drinking water mains inspections are under way in Oamaru as part of the Waitaki District Council’s amended Water Services Delivery Plan (WSDP) . Waitaki District Mayor Mel Tavendale said, in a statement, the council’s decision last month to rejoin the Southern Waters regional water group set the direction for the future of water services. ‘‘We are following the direction from the mayor and councillors to rejoin Southern Waters, subject to their approval, and preparing a WSDP with that intent,’’ council chief executive Alex Parmley said. ‘‘Our assets team and contractors have identified locations to gather data for our asset condition assessment, which will feed in to our revised WSDP. ‘‘We are keeping [Crown facilitator for water] Amy Adams and the DIA informed of our progress.’’
