Riversdale is finally going to get is Sewerage system :)
Popped to the beach today for a bit of relaxation, and noticed a whole load of workmen on the village. Actually I suppose I should call it a Settlement. Village seems too English. Anyway – turns out that Masterton Council have finally decided to build the sewerage system that they have been promising for well over 1o years. Of course its about a gazillion times more expensive that it should have been cos they dicked around so long getting reports and consultations done. And then more reports on the consultations and consultations of the new reports.
Oddly enough the other weekend we went to an open home at the campsite. It had a toilet. It just wasn’t hooked up to anything, You had to use the Camp Toilet. They wanted $230k for a 2 bed Bach (admittedly brand new) without a flushing toilet.
Hmmm. We passed on that. I am NOT getting up in the middle of the night in Jim Jams to waltz across a flipping campsite to have a pee.
I love the place – but not that much!
It’s really gonna cost the residents to connect to the new scheme, something that is causing a great deal of angst amongst the permanent population. Many of them are pensioners, so don’t have the kind of money to stump up the cost up front. And although the council is allowing a payment plan in the Rates – there is interest on that (assumed rate of 7.5% so not even competence). Gits.
Should all be completed by this time next year.
