Good morning Malcolm
In response to your request for information dated 4th February 2020 regarding tyres in the Manawatu District I can advise as follows.
You have requested information regarding costs of dealing with tyres since 2000 however we can only advise on the costs specifically for the disposal of illegally dumped tyres since 2016 due to the costs being included in the overall illegal dumping costs and not being specifically broken down to tyres prior to 2016.
To give some clarity, Manawatu District Council has not had any large tyre pile issues, the main concern is illegally dumped tyres and these are usually in among other illegally dumped rubbish. The exception to this was a series of illegally dumped tyres on a rural road, normally in batches of around 25 to 30 tyres each time, where in total over 600 tyres were dumped over a 12mth period. The offenders for this were identified and prosecuted.
1. The costs incurred in dealing with tyres amounts to $39,275.59. this is broken down as follows
Uplifting of illegally dumped tyres
2016-2017 $ 4,137.63
2017-2018 $ 5,203.61
2018-2019 $ 6,249.50
2019 – Jan 2020 $ 7,521.64
The total cost to Council to dispose of the above tyres was $ 16,163.21
2. Manawatu District Council is not aware of any illegal stock piling of tyres.

- Manawatu District Council allows the collection and retention of rainwater from a house roof for domestic use in rural areas. Households can collect water in urban areas for garden use.
- In rural areas this water can be used for any household use. Households can collect water in urban areas for garden use.
- Collection of Rainwater is encouraged by only providing restricted water supply in rural areas and installing meters. Households on a restricted supply must have a domestic water tank. Rainwater collection in urban areas is not mentioned in our water supply bylaw.
- The Council has no concerns about homeowners collecting and using rainwater in rural areas.
- Manawatu District council plans to spend $20.6 Million on upgrading water supplies in the next 5 years (this includes the construction of a water supply scheme for Ohakea)
Commercial users in the District are metered and charged for the volume they use as well as a fixed rate charge for the size of their water connection.
Domestic users in the District are not metered for ordinary use. The Average domestic use is 260 litres per person per day. There are currently no water restrictions in the Manawatu District this summer.

Good afternoon Vicki
Please see below a response and attachment prepared by our Three Waters Compliance Engineer, Catherine Clement
"The only water supply that is Fluoridated in the Manawatu District is Feilding.
Please find attached the Fluoride Levels for the Feilding water supply for the last three years.
Our compliance year runs from 1 July to 30 June each year so I have included results back to July 2016.
The values are in g/m3
The gaps in the samples occur when the Treatment Plant is not operating due to high turbidity in the Oroua River.
Regards
Catherine Clement"

Good afternoon Jayne
Here is the data to answer your information request regarding nitrates in drinking water.
The Source Data in in the attached spreadsheet. There are a mixture of co-ordinates sources as some are taken from the Horizons Regional Council Resource Consent.
A Digital File of the supply boundary and Distribution Zone Boundaries is attached.
Full Chemical Testing was carried out on all raw water sources in 2017 this data is attached.
The water source for the township of Sanson was changed from October 2019 from a bore adjacent to the Rangitikei River at Ngaio Road to a deep
Groundwater bore located in Fagan Street, Sanson.
I trust this provides the information you are seeking, however please contact us if you require anything further
LGOIMA Request Details: LG1897
Date received: 20/12/2019
Requested information: Herbicide (particularly glyphosate-based herbicides) in public places
Status: Complete
Date responded: 11/02/2020
Response:
1. What guidelines does the Council use for the application of glyphosate-based herbicide (eg Roundup products) on Council owned land, by both council staff and contractors?
All safety standards are to be met based on the Safety Materiel Data Sheet, SMDS
2. Does the Council limit the use of glyphosate in areas that children play?
Yes, playgrounds are only sprayed when needed, generally playgrounds are weeded using hand removal by playground maintenance contractor.
3. Has Council formally considered a spray-free streets and parks policy in the last 5 years? If so, what was considered and what decision was made?
Not formally considered spray free streets or parks.
4. Does the Council use steam weeding, hot water/foam, 'natural' spray products, and/or mechanical alternatives to glyphosate-based herbicides, and if so what percentage of weed control by each of the alternatives is used?
No area is controlled using steam or hot water spray products.
5. Does the Council or its contractors have the equipment to carry out steam, hot water/foam weeding? What is owned by Council and what by its contractors?
Our Open spaces contractor (Recreational Services Ltd) has units in other districts of the country that it has contracts that requiring the usage of steam or hot water control methods. Council does not own any machinery.
6. Does Council keep records of pesticides including herbicide volumes used annually, if so could these be supplied. If more comprehensive records are not maintained, what quantity of glyphosate-based herbicides does the Council and its contractors use each year on Council owned land?
Council doesn't keep records of quantities of herbicide used but the contractors do have a rough idea of how much is used. Approx 2000 L was used on all road sides and road side drains across the district. Approx 350 L was used in Recreation Spaces
7. Does Council differentiate vegetation control methods between areas open to the public and other Council owned land?
Yes we differentiate vegetation control methods based on risk factors and expected levels of service.
8. Does Council use glyphosate-based herbicides for aquatic and surrounds vegetation control? What other herbicides are used in aquatic and surrounds vegetation control?
When working near aquatic areas a herbicide sticker is included in the mix, this improved the adhesion of chemical to the plant.
9. What monitoring of herbicides residues is undertaken by Council or other agencies in public residential areas, aquifers, drinking-water source points and water supplies controlled by Council? Please supply results of all such monitoring.
We don't test for herbicides specifically. However, every year we do take a sample from each of our bores and have it analysed for an array of parameters including metals. Given that a lot of herbicides have copper this could be detected as a result of this sampling.
