Timaru District Council is currently seeking a Resource Consent from Environment Canterbury to discharge stormwater from the urban areas of Geraldine into the waterways and to the ground.
We are also implementing a Stormwater Management Plan to manage, and better address, any ongoing risks. This will include an ongoing programme of monitoring, maintenance, public education and regulatory controls to limit discharges of contaminants to the stormwater network.
