HBRC Petition
We, the undersigned, believe that Hawke's Bay Regional Council has been negligent in not collecting the annual science charges due from Water Holdings Hawkes Bay since 2020 and that this private company should not be receiving special treatment.
​
We strongly urge Regional Council to levy the full amount owed of $382,956. If Water Holdings Hawke's Bay is unable to make immediate payment then they must surrender the water consents they hold.
