holiday periods. Follow up samples were often collected following instances where enterococci counts
exceeded 140 cfu/100 ml.
During the 2017-2018 summer season, 89% of the 245 scheduled samples remained within surveillance
mode. January, February and March were the months where the highest proportions of samples exceeded
the MfE guidelines. These three months also received considerably higher levels of rainfall than normal.
Four of the five highest
with no unauthorised overflows to the stream of any nature. Two incidents of
stormwater/sewage overflows were reported in the Konini Street area of the township due
to surcharging of the reticulation under very heavy rainfall conditions. Reactivation of an
alarmed and telemetered overflow site has been necessary to alleviate sewage entry to
domestic property. Signage requirements have been recognised and provided for should
such events re-occur.

Issue 3: Addressing climate change
As the impacts of climate change
intensify, we are considering how
we can best support climate
action in Taranaki.
What the issue is
Climate change will have wide-ranging impacts on
Taranaki. Temperature is expected to increase by
between 0.5°C and 1.5°C by 2040, while rainfall will
become more variable, increasing both the

discharged via a sand filter prior to entering the NPDC stormwater system, which discharges to the
Mangaone Stream immediately upstream of State Highway 3.

No odour was detected beyond the boundary during any of the four routine inspections.
Results of effluent monitoring
With the diversion of wastes to the Hawera WWTP in the 2010-2011 period, discharges from the Eltham
WWTP now occur only as a result of high rainfall events that exceed the storage capacity of the primary and
holding ponds, and the pumping capacity of the
survey and heavier rain later in the morning. The survey was
preceded by moderate rainfall 24 hours prior sampling (13.5 mm) at Brooklands Zoo rain gauge. There was
a light mist/intermittent drizzle during sampling. Over the last seven days prior sampling 66 mm of rain was
measured at Brooklands Zoo rain gauge. Samples collected were also assessed for odour.
Out of the 11 samples collected, one had a distinctive odour, described as earthy/woody, coming from
STW001157, which suggests the
answers.
1) For an irrigation consent, applications are required to provide a reasonable use test in relation to the
maximum daily rate of abstraction return period and the seasonal or annual volume of the proposed take.
When making decisions on the reasonableness of the rate and volume of take sought, the Council will:
a. consider land use, crop water-use requirements, on-site physical factors such as soil water-
holding capacity, and climatic factors such as rainfall variability and
