This form states "All submissions and feedback (including your name, address and contact details) are provided to Council officers and elected members for the purpose of analysing feedback."
Since when does analysis of feedback data require names and addresses etc. to be known?
Statistics New Zealand always removes personal details when analysing information received from participants. This information is strictly confidential.
The NPDC could have collected feedback on their proposed Smart Water Meter Installation, and kept respondent details confidential, but they have chosen not to do this. This is very concerning.
And it gets worse.
The from also states "Submissions and feedback (with individuals' names only) may be available online."
So the Council is threatening to reveal the identity of those who object to a water meter being fitted.
Also the Council has chosen not to inform us that it's more than just a water meter, it's a SMART meter. This type of meter allows the council to remotely turn your water off for what ever reason.
And, even objecting to having the meter in the first place could be used against us.
I think the Council is using the threat to identify objectors, in their feedback form, as a way of stopping negative feedback regarding the installation of their SMART water meters.
The installation of a meter has never been about saving water. It's about having control through the smart meter over one's access to water by centralised control.

We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind. We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.
Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.
Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed.

We don't really want to go to the kennels, so we'd prefer someone else to look after us for that period. We are Fletcher, 10 year old Boxer and Chipper, 9 year old Choc Labrador. We are house-trained and we never dig or chew anything. If you think you might like looking after us, we'd need to be securely fenced. We hope we can spend Christmas with you. Thanks
