Thank you for your request made under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (the Act), received 9 January.

Further to our previous email, this request is more closely connected to Wellington Water Limited (WWL), therefore we have transferred your request to WWL.

Wellington Water are a separate entity to Wellington City Council and their system is different to ours, as such they may hold more information around this issue that we would have on our records.
In these circumstances, we are required under section 12 of the Act to transfer your request and have done so.

Someone from Wellington Water will be in touch in due course around this. WWL can also be contacted directly on: [email address]

Right of review
If you are not satisfied with the Council's response, you may request the Office of the Ombudsman to investigate the Council's decision. Further information is available on the Ombudsman website, http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/.

Thank you again for your request, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Kind regards,
