Discoloured water for Te Papa Peninsula, Sunday 12 February

Sunday, 12 February 2023, 8:36 pm
Press Release: Tauranga City Council

A water mains break on Dive Crescent today, Sunday 12 February, has caused discolouration of water to homes and businesses on the Te Papa Peninsula (including Greerton and the Cameron Road area).

The discolouration of water is caused from naturally-occurring iron and manganese that deposits on the inside of the pipes. The break has been repaired and the water is safe to drink but may not return to its usual clarity until tomorrow.

Tauranga City Council will provide another update tomorrow and appreciates the community's patience.

Gordon Campbell: On Wealth Taxes And Capital Flight

In the wake of the Greens’ alternative Budget – and the criticism levelled at it – it seems pretty obvious that when it comes to tax policy, Labour’s only election campaign concession to left wing voters is going to be a capital gains tax (CGT). A wealth tax is not on the cards. Yet in the run-up to next year’s election, even a CGT is going to be demonised as a plunge into radicalism. It is a sign of just how restrictive the politics of progressive taxation are in New Zealand.
