East Rotoiti/Rotomā residents will be charged a new targeted capital rate to recover a portion of the total capital cost ($9.4m out of $35.3m) to build and connect to the proposed sewerage scheme for the catchment.

Council has a policy of equalising the operating costs of all sewerage schemes across the district.  As such all residential properties connected to the various schemes all pay the same sewage pan charge.  This benefits the smaller schemes such as East Rotoiti/Rotomā or Tarawera that will have a higher operating cost than what the residents of the scheme would otherwise contribute through their rates.  

No general rates are used to fund waste water.  This is fully funded from targeted rates.

Roughly $1m has been budgeted in the LTP for Civil Defence Emergency Management
