Denise Piper Reporter from Whangārei Leader

Climate change, dry weather and deforestation have all led to an early hose ban in Northland's Kaikohe. There are no such restrictions in Whangārei but it has been a dry year here and reservoir storage levels were down in winter. If one was introduced, how would a hose ban impact you?

It would involve hiring people to sort the contents but would avoid the windblown refuse clogging up our drains and gutters under the present bin collection system. If council were serious about pollution, they should do this instead of the second bin provided for glass.
