Billing System for dowtown Wellington Water Rates

Jeanne from Miramar

Or... system NOT!
Water meter in Mt Cook read on 15 April and today 17 MAY still no invoice received. This is needed as part of outgoings to be organised with a tenant.
Advised today after having to take the time to phone WCC that the invoices should be printed today from above reading date!

Anyone else have thoughts on: In 2021

WHY the Water Rates invoice cannot be e-mailed out?
Why it takes So long from meter being read to invoice being 'printed' never mind then having to wait the mail delivery time??
Why to get a copy of Water Rates invoice you have to wait for the printing so a scanned copy can be emailed to you - on your request.???


C'mon WCC - what SYSTEM is this in 2021?????

This week we feature Siam the klepto-cat. Not sure where Siam lives but the submission made by Sine Goldfinch was to good to ignore.
"Siam came in my cat door six years ago with this sponge in his mouth and dropped it at my feet as a gift for me. His owner gave him to me because he just refused to go and six years on, he still brings the same sponge to me every night. I'm pretty sure it is the equivalent of roses in his mind."
Remember if you want your pet featured on Neighbourly, email us on yourpet@dompost.co.nz with a recent photo. Please remember to say what suburb you live in.

Plastic dog tags are set to become a thing of the past in Wellington City, with the introduction of the One Tag for dog registrations.
The One Tag is a metal tag designed to last a dog's lifetime. Dog owners will still need to pay their annual registration fees, but they can keep using the same tag as long as they live in their council's jurisdiction.
The One Tag initiative is being introduced to reduce the amount of plastic waste going to landfills.
The One Tag is lightweight yet durable and comes in two sizes – 25mm for small dogs and 35mm for larger dogs. The back of the tag is blank so owners can get it engraved with their dog's name or their contact details if they wish.
Under the Dog Control Act 1996, all dogs are legally required to be registered by the age of three months. Registration is due by July 31 of each year and owners of unregistered dogs may be charged an infringement fee of $300.
Animal Control Officers can access registration records remotely when they are out on patrol to check whether a dog is currently registered.
