Water fee deferred
I The North Canterbury! t ;Catchment Board has.author-;' iity under the Water and Soil! ( Conservation Amendment ij Act, 1977, to impose an an-a inual charge of $lO on all:J 'holders of water rights, but-j it has declined to do so. j | The board agreed with the c chairman of its water com- r 'mittee (Mr H. E. Connor) that - a decision on the imposition s iof such charges be deferred s
and re-examined by the board ! in February, 1979. Mr Connor said the board could have an income ofi about §30,000 a year if it were to impose the charges.! but he noted that it was a flat charge applying to all J holders of water rights. Big! industrial firms would be l charged the same fee — for. monitoring and supervision i — as would small users such! as those with approvals for| septic tanks. I
