LIM report doesn’t show any sewerage pipes. Seems they don’t know where any pipes are in Featherston. Everything past the boundary fence is your problem. Paid for a LIM report then kicked up a stink then they miraculously found some documents from the 1970’s that didn’t appear in LIM report. Makes you wonder what you pay $350 for, their GIS mapping system is non existent on their council page. They need the whips cracked to sort their crap out. Sorry excuse for a council. Still don’t know where the sewerage pipes are.

Yesterday at about 5.30pm the water at my house suddenly spluttered and went very cloudy, leaving a residue. I rang the Council and was pleasantly surprised to be able to speak to someone, even though it was outside office hours. He was very helpful and took my phone number, saying someone would get back to me. About 15 minutes later, Joseph, from Wellington Water arrived at my house! He explained that they had been doing some work at an adjacent street. He checked the water and agreed that it was very cloudy and he would go and flush the system. He went away and did just that and returned to check that it was fixed. It was. Congratulations to Joseph, the team at Wellington Water and the Council. Excellent service. 5 stars

They are some time not so good to get things done and it doesn't look so good when you want to get some things done and it is not a holiday camp that when Things do not get difficult for me it piss me off for their are useless at times. Stephen

I rang tonight and it was only after 3 calls did I get an actual person. We have had no water since about 9pm 27.12.2021(well that is when we noticed we did not have water). The council knew nothing abot this issue. The guy I spoke to said he would log the call and I would either...get a call...get a visit...or I should call back in half an hour. So I gave them 45 minutes...no call...no visit so I called them back. Got told the call was logged at 9.12pm and I would get a visit from someone. Sat up till 12.30 waiting. Went to bed disgusted at the lack of service. Poor form SWDC

The most inefficient Council I have ever dealt with. Mis-information, appalling communication and comedy of errors resulting in a lot of stress
