Comments on: Tukituki rescue plan announced http://www.baybuzz.co.nz/archives/1503 What's new, funny, perplexing in Hawke's Bay Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:54:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ewan McGregor http://www.baybuzz.co.nz/archives/1503/comment-page-1#comment-15188 Ewan McGregor Mon, 08 Jun 2009 05:20:58 +0000 http://www.baybuzz.co.nz/archives/1503#comment-15188 Thanks to BayBuzz for a fulsome report on these developments. Unless I've missed it the public have yet to be informed through Hawkes Bay Today. As I have already acknowledged, good on the Water Group for applying pressure. Now it can focus on other acqautic challenges. Can't quite follow you final comment Tom about how before long the TT may be better than I knew as a kid. I've said all along that it is now! And why shouldn't be. In those days the towns discharged their raw sewrage directly into it. I have felt that that life-long assessment by me was taken as indicating that I thought all was well with the river, which was never the case. What I look for is that through my old age it will be better that ever - at least in the period of European habitation, and that's something to look forward to Cheers Ewan Mac Thanks to BayBuzz for a fulsome report on these developments.

I wonder if Wairoa District Council/HBRC are considering the pine plantation option for Wairoa discharge, which at present is only treated at settling ponds before going into the Wairoa estuary. Although this does flush, it is still pollution of a well-used and wonderful natural environment. P.S. The past participle of 'get' is 'got', unless you're in the U.S. isn't it?
