It's tax return time. Scammers are impersonating Inland Revenue (IR) - and even the Police to steal personal information and money.

They may contact you by email, text, or phone, claiming:
🔹 You're owed a tax refund and must provide your bank details to receive it.
🔹 You owe tax and need to pay immediately to avoid legal trouble.

How to stay safe:
✅ Don’t click on links in emails or texts - log in to your myIR account directly.
✅ Check the sender - official IRD emails always end in @ird.govt.nz.
✅ Be cautious with texts - IRD only sends messages from four-digit codes, not
regular phone numbers.

Who should manage Kāpiti Coast’s water?

Kapiti Coast District Council

But now, the Government’s Local Water Done Well policy means all councils must consider and consult on future water service options. After careful review, we’ve narrowed it down to two:

🔹 Option 1 – Keep our water services in-house (our preferred option).
We’d continue to manage water services in-house, with a few changes to meet regulation requirements. This would keep costs lower in the short to medium term while retaining full ownership and control.
🔹 Option 2 – A joint council-owned water services organisation with Horowhenua, Manawatū and Palmerston North.
Our water assets would be transferred to the new organisation. There will be higher costs initially, but water charges are projected to align with Option 1 by 2047.

Watch the video below to learn more, or visit our consultation page for details. Click here to share your thoughts before midnight, 13 April:
We’re also hosting a webinar and drop-in sessions where you can ask questions and chat with elected members.
Your voice matters let’s shape the future of Kāpiti’s water together.
