Petone residents urge moratorium on water bottling consents

From Morning Report, 8:52 am on 31 July 2019

Petone residents are calling for a moratorium on all water bottling consents until the certainty of the region's water supply becomes clearer.

There are two active consents to draw almost 950 million litres a year from the Lower Hutt groundwater zone and a new consent is being considered to draw another 432 million.
