<strong>Watercare</strong> Services Limited<br />
<strong>2011</strong> ANNUAL REPORT<br />
<strong>Watercare</strong> aims to operate, maintain, replace and develop assets over the long term to meet<br />
required service levels and foreseeable future needs. The key drivers for asset planning<br />
decisions relate to growth, renewal and levels of service. <strong>Watercare</strong> must also give effect<br />
to relevant aspects of Auckland Council’s Long Term Plan. <strong>Watercare</strong> is currently working<br />
to develop a new Asset Management Plan that considers the water and wastewater needs<br />
and priorities for the Auckland region. While the December 2010 plan covered one year as<br />
<strong>Watercare</strong> sought to better understand the assets transferred during integration, the future<br />
plan will cover a 20-year horizon.<br />
Progress is made on a new wastewater<br />
storage tank being built in Henderson.<br />
The tank, which will have a 13-millionlitre<br />
capacity, will provide for growth<br />
and reduce the frequency and volume<br />
of wastewater overflows into the<br />
Waitemata Harbour.<br />
