Dromore Rural Community Water Supply Strategy ± June 2016

1 Overview

This Water Supply Strategy was prepared to accompany the $VKEXUWRQ 'LVWULFW &RXQFLO¶V $'& application for resource consent to take and use water for a community water supply of the Dromore community. This strategy details the nature and extent of the Dromore community supply scheme and any effects of that activity on the environment.

2 Description of the Dromore Rural Community Supply Scheme

1. Water for the Dromore rural community supply scheme is currently sourced from groundwater bore L37/1558, located at 50 Dromore Station Road, Dromore, at or about map reference NZTopo50 BY21:0712-4451 (NZMS 260 L37:1710-0612).

2. A submersible pump installed in the well delivers water to two ground-based reservoirs located immediately adjacent to the bore. From the reservoirs, an independent pump and pressure cylinder provides water to Dromore via a reticulated pressure system that radiates into three branches.

3. The geographical extent of the Dromore rural community supply scheme is shown in Appendix One of this Water Supply Strategy. Currently the scheme provides 23.1 km of reticulation.

4. The main distribution line includes approximately 4.4 km of 50 mm diameter trunk main, approximately 3.6 km of 40 mm diameter pipe, approximately 6.3 km of 32 mm diameter pipe, approximately 5.8 km of 25 mm diameter pipe and approximately 3.1 km of 19 mm diameter pipe. The main distribution does not include pipework within private properties.

5. The scheme predominately relies on storage and pump/gravity supply with only a handful of connections being on demand supply.

6. Currently there are 38 connections to the scheme. However, Council records indicate that the actual number of dwellings connected to the scheme is 58 due to some of the properties having more than one dwelling on their land. It is also considered that there may be an additional small number of dwellings connected to the rural supply scheme that ADC is not aware of, and ADC is currently in the process of identifying how many dwellings are connected to the scheme in total. The population of Dromore is currently approximately 90 people.

7. The Dromore community supply scheme only authorises domestic drinking water. Water is not used for commercial or industrial use, or for the purpose of supply for medical facilities, marae, schools or other communal sports buildings or facilities (e.g. parks, fields, etc.). Further, there is a permanent hosing ban in place for all customers.

Dromore Rural Community Water Supply Strategy

8. However, it is assumed that some of the properties use water for amenity irrigation (although QRWSHUPLWWHGXQGHU$'&¶V:DWHU5HVWULFWLRQV3ROLF\± refer to Appendix Two) and, to a small degree, for stockwater supply purposes.

9. The average demand for a rural within the scheme dwelling is estimated to be in the order of 3 m3/d. For a minimum of 58 connected dwellings this equates to an average daily demand of at least 175 m 3/d. The peak daily demand in summer 2015/16 was approximately 235 m 3/d.

10. Water use records show that the historical daily peak demand was approximately 285 m 3/d, which is also the current capacity of the water treatment plant. However, this high figure was attributed to a large leak within the public network that was fixed in April 2015.

11. Water treatment is in the form of disinfection using Sodium Hypochlorite (i.e. chlorination).

3 Assessment of Existing and Future Demand

1. The Local Government Act 2002 (LGA), with respect to public water supply, provides for a range of obligations, restrictions and powers, including requiring local authorities to assess their communities' reasonable needs for water. The LGA places an obligation on local authorities to continue to provide water services and to maintain their capacity to provide those services. Given the increased demand within the Dromore rural water supply scheme as a result of an increased number of connections, ADC has a responsibility to provide for this demand.

2. The high existing demand of the Dromore rural supply scheme (up to 235 m 3/d) is likely due to unauthorised overuse of the resource. The overuse may be attributable to a number of causes, including users disregarding the household use and hosing ban restrictions, and to some degree, the leakage in both private and public networks.

3. ADC has completed a number of actions to address leakage and excessive use and will further implement measures to provide for an ongoing reduction in water demand. No staged increase in allocation is sought in the consent application, but rather a consent condition that ensures reasonable use following the implementation of improvements further detailed below.

4. Due to the current uncertainties (i.e. a potential number of additional dwellings that may be connected to the scheme, inappropriate non-domestic water use, and leakage in both public and private networks), ADC is currently working on determining the reasonable demand of the scheme. However, ADC will monitor the water use within the scheme and carry out a review of the daily and seasonal volumes within five years from the granting of the new water permit to reflect reasonable water use.

4 Water Conservation Measures and Network Efficiency

1. ADC is committed to reduce the relatively high water demand within the Dromore rural water supply scheme.

2. ADC will implement the following measures to minimise water loss from the water reticulation network:

Dromore Rural Community Water Supply Strategy

(a) ADC is committed to carry out ongoing repair and maintenance works to ensure an efficient public supply network.

(b) Council will continue to encourage property owners/occupiers to adequately maintain their private networks. ADC appeals to property owners periodically to advise Council of water leaks found within the scheme area on both private and public land.

(c) ADC network maintenance contractor carries out periodical leak detections. The detections may be visual inspections, of the pipe alignments in order to identify leaks, employment of specialist leak detection contractors,

(d) ADC will identify properties that have the potential to be taking larger volumes of water.

3. ADC will implement the above measures through the following means:

(a) Pressure logging equipment has been installed throughout the network to help identify usage patterns and any leakage. Further, a letter will be sent to ratepayers appealing for their assistance to identify leaks and report them to Council.

(b) ADC is currently in the process of reviewing their Water Supply Bylaw, and, if found necessary, additional control may be provided with regards to water restrictions and the management of high usage properties. This review has identified the requirement for a new c ODXVHWREHLQFOXGHGWKDWVWDWHVWKDW³ Where deemed necessary, the Water Supply Authority reserves the right to fit a restrictor for demand management purposes ´.

(c) ADC will take a firmer stance on properties identified to be using higher than average volumes of water. Any properties identified of excessive water consumption will be advised. Depending on the outcome, some properties may be required to convert to restricted supplies. If property owners/occupiers DUH LQ EUHDFK ZLWK $'&¶V Water Restriction Policy (i.e. any non-essential water use or amenity irrigation) infringement fines in accordance with the Ashburton District Council Bylaw may be issued.

(d) If required, ADC will install water metering equipment on properties identified as having the potential to be taking larger volumes of water. If the water meter shows that larger volumes of water are being taken, then that property will be put on restriction.

(e) ADC will continue to inform and educate customers about water conservation measures that help to reduce the overall demand within the Dromore rural supply scheme. As detailed above, ADC will continue to encourage water users to adopt efficient water use products, such as installing water saving fixtures and the use of water conserving appliances.

4. ADC will measure the effectiveness of the methods implemented on an ongoing basis. The effectiveness of the above measures will be measured against reductions of water use in both the overall network and at the property level.

5. ADC will review the implemented methods annually and amend them if required.

Dromore Rural Community Water Supply Strategy

5 Alternative Available Water Sources

1. The installation of private domestic bores on properties currently connected to the Dromore community supply is not considered financially viable, given the depth of the reliable aquifer in this area exceeding 100 m bgl.

2. Connecting Dromore to the existing Ashburton town reticulation scheme is considered impractical due to the distance to Ashburton and the associated construction costs compared to the relatively small scale rural scheme.

3. There are no reliable surface water sources in the area that could practicably be used for a water supply. Further, groundwater is considered a more reliable and secure source for human drinking water, as it provides high quality water with low potential for contamination, less susceptibility to short term water level fluctuations and minimal to no impact on adjacent surface water resources in an already over-allocated catchment.

4. In summary, the continuation of the deep groundwater take from bore L37/1558 in the immediate vicinity of Dromore is considered the most practical and cost effective solution.

6 Drought Management Plan

1. Methods to reduce consumption during water shortage conditions and particularly consumption by non-essential agricultural, residential, industrial or trade processes DUHDGGUHVVHGLQ$'&¶V Water Restriction Policy, included in Appendix Two of this Water Supply Strategy.

2. Property owners/occupiers are notified of restrictions to manage the demand on the various schemes to acceptable levels, which includes a permanent ban of watering lawns and gardens on all connected properties within the scheme.

3. Should the restriction Level 5 be advertised, no non-essential water use is permitted at any time for the duration of the Level 5 restriction being in place. For Dromore, Level 5 restrictions only permit essential domestic use.

4. If required, the supply of the community will be supplemented by water tankers if prolonged restrictions are in place.

5. Property owners/occupiers identified as being in breach of the Water Restriction Policy will be advised of the requirement to comply with the policy. If the breach is considered serious, Property owners/occupiers will be issued with an infringement fine in accordance with the Ashburton District Council Bylaw. Property owners/occupiers identified as repeat offenders of the policy may be issued with an infringement fine or prosecuted in accordance with the Ashburton District Council Bylaw.

Appendix Two ADC Water Restriction Policy

Water Restrictions Policy

Introduction The water supplies in the Ashburton District have historically come under pressure during the summer months and some schemes were never designed to accommodate watering of lawns and gardens (irrigation). To manage these issues, water (hosing) restrictions in some form or other have been implemented during the summer months or during emergencies to manage the demand on the various schemes to acceptable levels. These restrictions have in the past been implemented in an ad-hoc fashion and have never been formalised in Council policy. This policy sets to address concerns relating to demand management by ensuring that the time periods when watering is permitted (Levels 2 & 3), is moved away from the generally expected peak demand for normal domestic use. It is also intended to give consumers an indication of permissible practices which are allowed during each level of restriction, thereby making compliance and enforcement easier. And finally, it is intended to give a clear definition of how breaches of the restrictions will be dealt with (enforcement).

Policy Statements 1. Hosing is not permitted at any time on the Dromore and Winchmore water supplies and the Methven Springfield & Montalto piped stockwater schemes. 2. On the Ashburton, Methven, Rakaia, Hakatere, Hinds, Lake Hood 1, Mayfield, Mount Somers, Chertsey and Fairton 2 water supplies, water restrictions may be implemented when environmental, operational and/or emergency conditions require, at the discretion of the Operations Manager. 3.
