COUNCILLOR COMMENT
Martinborough Waste Water:
Martinborough has commenced its discharge of waste water to land through a travelling irrigator (as per the above photo). The irrigator has operated over the summer months to 5 hectares of land adjacent to the settling ponds. During this time there were no discharges to the river for 106 days out of the 162 day period which commenced on the 1st November. Discharge to the river only occurs in times of above average flow, reducing the effects on the river. The completion of the first stage of the new consent will see 100% of discharge to land by 2035.
During the above period the irrigated grass has been cut three times with around 160 large round bales being harvested. I am advised by Council staff that these are now available for sale. If you are interested in purchasing any of the baleage, please contact Lawrence on 3069611. … Continue Reading
