1            Apologies and Declarations of Interest

Members need to stand aside from decision-making when a conflict arises between their role as a Member of the Community Board and any private or other external interest they might have. This note is provided as a reminder to Members to review the matters on the agenda and assess and identify where they may have a pecuniary or other conflict of interest, or where there may be a perception of a conflict of interest.

If a Member feels they do have a conflict of interest, they should publicly declare that at the start of the meeting or of the relevant item of business and refrain from participating in the discussion or voting on that item. If a Member thinks they may have a conflict of interest, they can seek advice from the Chief Executive Officer or the Team Leader Governance Support (preferably before the meeting).

It is noted that while members can seek advice the final decision as to whether a conflict exists rests with the member.

4.2         Water Loss Key Performance Indicators

File Number:           A2325526

Author:                    Barry Somers, Assets Manager - 3 Waters

Authoriser:             Andy Finch, General Manager - Infrastructure and Asset Management

 

Purpose of the Report

To provide information around why Council is not achieving the 26% percentage of real water loss from the local authority’s water supply networked reticulation system.

Executive Summary

A key performance indicators, consulted via the Long Term Plan (LTP), is for unaccounted for water across the potable water reticulated network to be less than 26%. For the last six years, the actual level of unaccounted for water has remained steady in the low 30% range. To reduce this to below 26% is unlikely to be achievable in the short term, and will require a change to the management and operation of the assets with these changes being sustained over the long term.

 

Recommendation

That the Infrastructure Network Committee receives the report Water Loss Key Performance Indicators.

 

 

Background

The LTP sets a level of service of no greater than 26% real water loss from the local authority’s water supply networked reticulation system. As of November 2018, the year to date level of unaccounted for water was 32.8%. In response to this exceedance of the KPI, a report was requested to provide further information around why this was occurring and what is being done to rectify the situation.

This report provides an explanation around water loss measurements, reasons for unaccounted for water, trends in unaccounted for water, benchmarking water against other Councils, and what is being done to achieve reduce achieve the specified KPI.

Discussion and Next Steps

Measuring Water Loss.

While percentage is commonly used to measure water loss, it does not measure the amount of water lost via leakage. Percentages only provide the relative difference between water production and water sales. Table 1 provides a simplified example as to why using percentage doesn’t measure water loss.

Table 1 – Simplified example of water lost vs % unaccounted water

As shown in Table 1, while the level of leakage stays the same, using percentage as a measure does not give meaningful results.

The two industry accepted means of measuring water loss are;

·    Litres per property per day or

·    Cubic metres per kilometre of pipe per day.

Which one is used depends on the closeness of the connections. Both these measures eliminate usage from the formula and focus on actual leakage.

Unaccounted for Water Overview

Unaccounted for water (also known as non-revenue water) is the difference between what is supplied and what is sold as detailed in Figure1. Of the unaccounted for water, some is unavoidable losses, such as mains flushing and firefighting, some is due to meter errors, and some made up of loss via leaks and breaks.

Leakage and preventable lossesRevenue WaterNon –Revenue Water

Performance of FNDC Schemes

The level of unaccounted for water of each of FNDC’s schemes has been monitored since 2012. Table 2 details the performance of each of the schemes for the period 2015 to 2018. From the data provided it can be seen that the schemes with the highest level of leaks are Kaitaia and Paihia.

Using percentage as a measure, the real high losses in the Kaitaia scheme have been masked. The actual high losses shown in the Rawene, Okaihau and Kawakawa schemes have been rectified with the repairs of leaks and these figures will decrease in future years. As these are relatively small schemes, even a small leak can have a significant impact.

Table 2 – Average Unaccounted Water

When considered district wide to monitor trends, the level of unaccounted for water has not changed. Table 3 details unaccounted for water for the six year period 2012 to 2018.

Table 3 – District Wide Unaccounted Water Percent

National Benchmarking has allowed FNDC to compare the level of unaccounted for water against other similar sized fully metered Councils. Table 4 details the 2017/2018 leakage results from nine Councils. This shows the level of unaccounted for water for FNDC is slightly higher than similar councils, but not excessive by national standards.

Table 4 – Comparison Medium Sized Councils

Reducing the Levels of Unaccounted for Water.

There a number of factors that affects the level of unaccounted for water. These include meter accuracy, leaks and breaks, firefighting, mains flushing and unauthorised consumption. To reduce the level of unaccounted for water, all these factors have to be managed.

Council has around 10,200 domestic water meters. Historically these were replaced on failure. However, domestic water meters have a defined usage life and tend to run slow and not record low flows as they age. For the last three years there has been a programme of replacing these meters. Typically around 1,250 meters are replaced each year.  

While large water breaks may look like a large amount of lost water, smaller long term leaks can account for a higher volume of lost water. These can often be difficult to detect. Leak detection programmes, night flow monitoring and sectional flow monitoring will all help monitor changes in flow patterns.

Reducing the level of unaccounted for water will require a commitment to a long term programme involving improved management and monitoring of the water schemes, better management of the water meters, asset quality and asset replacement.

Reducing unaccounted for water will require more than infrequent analysis of water losses, or one off leak detection programmes. A successful outcome will require more regular and intensive monitoring, that will involve additional staff time.

SUMMARY

The use of percentage to measure unaccounted for water has significant flaws, but is a measure that many of the community can relate to. In reducing the levels of unaccounted for water the limitations of using percentage needs to be understood.

While over the desired 26%, the level of unaccounted for water has remained static for the last six years, and is comparable to that experienced by other similar Councils. To achieve the required 26% will require improvement to the management and operations currently undertaken and a long term commitment to implement those changes.

It is questionable whether the KPI of 26% is an appropriate level of real water loss. However, irrespective of this question it is noted that this target is not being achieved. It is considered achievable in the medium to long term subject to there being a strategic change in how Council manages reducing unaccounted for water. If it is desired to achieving the 26% target in the short term, then rapid and significant changes including resourcing, improvements to assets and improved support systems would be required.

Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

Leak detection and leak repair is an Opex function. Increasing the quantum of this work will require additional Opex funding.

Funding for mains replacements and water meter replacements are renewal and capex funded with funding included in the approved LTP.

The following budgets are included in the LTP:

 

2019/20

2020/21

2021/22

Meter Replacement

$335,000

$301,000

$235,000

4.3         Sludge Strategy Progress Report #2

File Number:           A2359497

Author:                    Reshma Harikumar, 3 Waters Planner

Authoriser:             Andy Finch, General Manager - Infrastructure and Asset Management

 

Purpose of the Report

The purpose of this report is to provide a quarterly progress update on the sludge strategy to the Infrastructure Network Committee.

Executive Summary

In July 2017, the sludge strategy recommendations were endorsed by the Infrastructure Network Committee (INC), with a request that a quarterly report be provided updating the INC on progress. This is the second progress report for the sludge strategy.

The key activities completed this quarter are:

·    Discussion with quarry owners to confirm if the shortlisted sites are viable (i.e. Sufficient size and access, remote location, no longer in use).

·    Identification of three council owned quarry sites after a thorough screening process based on capacity, proximity to sensitive receptors and environmental overlays.

·    Completion of a high level planning assessment and preparation of a consenting strategy. 

·    Consultant engaged to prepare a tender document for FNDC to procure the Mechanical Dewatering equipment.

·    Completion of Opononi WWTP desludging.

 

Recommendation

That the Infrastructure Network Committee receives the Sludge Strategy Progress Report #2.

 

 

Background

In July 2017 the 3 Waters Planning team recommended that Council:

a)   Endorse the centralised sludge strategy outlined in the document Far North District Council Sludge Study – Stage 2 and 3 Report - Final

b)   Authorise staff to develop a project to deliver the centralised sludge strategy, including a project plan, budget expenditure, and timeline

c)   Authorise staff to commence engagement with Iwi and other stakeholders regarding the sludge strategy

d)   Authorise staff to commence engagement with quarry owners and operators to confirm viability of former mine and quarry site

e)   Request quarterly reports to the Infrastructure Network Committee regarding progress on the strategy

These recommendations were endorsed, as well as one additional request from the Infrastructure Network Committee which was:

f)    Request staff to capture and report on all the information in the sludge management strategy.

This is the second of these progress reports to provide an update regarding the progress which has been made in the last quarter regarding the sludge management strategy.

 

Discussion and Next Steps

The following activities have been completed this quarter (from 31 October 2018 to 31 January 2019):

1.   Undertook discussion with quarry owners to confirm if the shortlisted sites are viable (sufficient size and access, remote location, no longer in use). All of the private quarries were either unavailable or unsuitable; therefore we started looking closer at quarries owned by Council.

2.   Conducted a site survey to estimate capacity of each of the Council owned quarry sites and increase our understanding of the site specific constraints.

3.   After a thorough screening process based on capacity, proximity to sensitive receptors and environmental overlays, three council owned quarries- Dangens, Hicks and Paranui will be considered further for sludge disposal.

4.   We engaged Beca Limited who undertook a high level planning assessment and prepared a consenting strategy.

5.   Staff engaged Jacobs to prepare a basis of design, specification and tender documents for the mechanical dredging and dewatering equipment.

6.   Broadspectrum managed external contractors who completed desludging at the Opononi Wastewater Treatment Plant.

7.   Ahipara wetland restoration project is complete and new wetland plants have been planted.  This project included desludging, earthworks, piping and replanting.

 

The following activities are planned for the following quarter (1 February 2019 to 30 April 2019):

1.   Commence Iwi consultation

2.   A cost benefit analysis comparing the costs and benefits of having 1 sludge disposal site / quarry vs multiple sites.

3.   Sampling of sludge at the 12 ponds and the stored sludge at Kaitaia drying beds.

4.   Completion of the mechanical and dredging equipment tender documentation.

4.4         Infrastructure Compliance Report

File Number:           A2368499

Author:                    Leanna Ransom, Infrastructure Compliance Planner

Authoriser:             Andy Finch, General Manager - Infrastructure and Asset Management

 

Purpose of the Report

The purpose of this report is to provide resource consent non-compliance information for asset and infrastructure managed by Far North District Council.

Ongoing non-compliance, if not dealt with effectively, may result in legal proceedings, environmental degradation and public health issues.

Executive Summary

·    FNDC currently has 10 Abatement Notices from Northland Regional Council. A summary of these and their locations are provided within the attachment ‘Infrastructure Summary of Abatements – 21 March 2019’.

·    Water restrictions are now in place for Kerikeri, Kaitaia, Kaikohe and South Hokianga due to supply shortages. Consent compliance is being closely monitored for Kaikohe and Opononi.

·    6 wastewater treatment plants are experiencing non-compliances with various resource consent conditions and 5 of these have existing abatement notices in place. Actions plans are in place to try and address the non-compliances for each plant, including several desludging and upgrade projects underway.

·    The filling of the Infrastructure Compliance Planner role for FNDC and a new manager overseeing compliance at Broadspectrum enables an increased, dedicated focus to be placed on infrastructure compliance management going forward, particularly within the three waters area where there has been a history of non-compliances.

Recommendation

That the Infrastructure Network Committee receive the Infrastructure Compliance Report.

 

 

Background

This report has been prepared to ensure that Committee Members are briefed on issues of resource consent compliance for assets and infrastructure.

Discussion and Next Steps

FNDC assets and infrastructure are currently operating under 10 abatement notices from Northland Regional Council. Details of these non-compliances are summarised within the attached ‘Infrastructure Summary of Abatements – 21 March 2019’.

Other compliance issues relating to Water Treatment Plants (WTPs) include:

·    Water restrictions are in place for Kerikeri, Kaitaia, Kaikohe and South Hokianga.

·    Plants are operating well but lack of rain has meant water is in short supply. This will continue through the summer and is an issue being managed through weekly water shortage meetings between Alliance staff.

·    Particular focus is being placed on managing the Kaikohe supply, which is nearing the consent limit for the Monument Hill bore, and Opononi, which is experienced low flows in the Waiotemarama Stream. 

 

Other compliance issues relating to Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs)

·    Kaitaia Wastewater Treatment Ponds recently experienced an issue with botulism and Alliance staff had to remove around 600 ducks and birds from the pond. The operation was a success and the pond cleaned up successfully with no impact to downstream users. While this type of outbreak is a natural occurrence and can occur in any type of pond or lake, staff have begun developing an Avian Botulism Management Plan which will look at options to raise public awareness about the issue and also strengthen containment processes and management of outbreak.

·    During the months of September to March, blooms of blue-green algae are possible at the ponds due to temperature and other prevailing conditions. While discharging from the ponds was stopped temporarily while the botulism was being managed, this has commenced again and levels are now being monitored closely to ensure no toxins from algae are present. If this does occur (as it has historically), downstream users will be contacted (stock use only as water is not potable) and requirements will be managed by the Alliance.

·    In December 2018, NRC lodged an application with the Environment Court for Paihia Wastewater Treatment Plant ongoing non-compliances. A pre-hearing meeting / judicial conference is scheduled for 6th March at which time FNDC will provide the judge with a full report on steps being taken to address non-compliance. Depending on the result of this meeting, the court hearing date is tentatively scheduled for either the week of 8th or 15th of April.

Other compliance matters:

·    Tokerau Beach has experienced an issue with seaweed being washed up in large quantities which resembles sewage and toilet paper. The Alliance responded to complaints and took samples which have been confirmed as seaweed. This has been fed back through media and managed.

·    Staff were alerted by NRC to possible stormwater contamination from Paihia Marsden Road toilets. Investigations proved there was insufficient drainage for the toilets to be washed out with a hose therefore FNDC’s maintenance contractor has been instructed to find an alternative cleaning method immediately and a drainage solution is being investigated.

4.5         Project update on Dog Pound in Kaitaia and Ngawha

File Number:           A2386025

Author:                    Seth Sirestarajah, Project Manager

Authoriser:             Andy Finch, General Manager - Infrastructure and Asset Management

 

Purpose of the Report

To provide an update on the progress of the Dog Pounds (Animal Shelters) design and to keep the committee informed on the planned project programme for the delivery of the construction of the Dog Pounds.

Executive Summary

·        The report provides a status update on the dog pound project(s) at the Kaitaia and Ngawha sites.

·        The project is currently in detail design and it is expected that the detail design is to be completed by mid-March 2019.

·        Following this, the design will be taken to the open market tender with the intention of appointing a suitable contractor(s) to build the facilities.

·        It is estimated that a “sod-turning” event can be held prior to construction and can be planned for latter part July 2019.

 

Recommendation

That the Infrastructure Network Committee receives the report, Project Update on Dog Pound Kaitaia and Ngawha, as an information report.

 

1) Background

Historically, Council has had two dog pound facilities servicing the district, one in the North (Kaitaia) and the other a temporary facility in the South in Horeke.

Council is aware that the current Kaitaia dog pound is no longer fit for purpose and the Horeke facility is a temporary facility. Two sites have been provided for the redevelopment of suitable fit for purpose dog pounds. The two sites available for this project are:

1.   Kaitaia Dog Pound at 303 Bonnets Road, next to the existing facility; and

 

2.   Kaikohe Dog Pound at 70 Ngawha Road next to the Showgrounds.

A concept design for the dog pound was developed in June 2018 with input from the Animal Management Team and the District Services Group management team which considered the method of operation, the staff compliment and potential maintenance and upkeep requirements.

The concept design was developed in a modular design such that both facilities (Ngwaha and Kaitaia) are designed concurrently with common elements in the design being used for both facilities.

This concept design was further developed with input from SPCA, MPI, Silverdale Animal Shelter, Bay of Islands Watchdogs Group and continued engagement with the FNDC animal handlers on specific functionality of the facility. A team consisting of Geo Technical, Structural, Acoustic, Civil, Fire, Electrical, Hydraulic and Mechanical Engineers, Quantity Surveyors and together with the Architects have been appointed in order to progress the concept design into a detailed design. In December 2018, the final concept design was approved, and the project progressed into detail design.

The local iwi group in Kaitaia was consulted in June 2018.  The concept design was presented and a site visit of the proposed Kaitaia site was undertaken. The local iwi group gave written approval in support of this project. The adjacent property owners have also been consulted at Kaitaia.

Currently, consultation is ongoing with the adjacent property owner and the local iwi for the Ngawha site. 

Acoustic Engineers have conducted a site analysis of the two locations and have provided a report for the rest of the design team to incorporate into the detailed design. This acoustic report will also be used for the resource consent application. 

Geotechnical site assessment of the facilities was carried out in December 2018. The findings have been provided to the rest of the design engineering team to incorporate into the detailed design.

 

2) Discussion and Options

The structural engineer and the design team are currently busy with the detail design of the dog pound structure. It is estimated that that design team will complete the detail design by 25th March 2019. The appointed quantity surveyors will provide a cost estimate of the facilities. With the detailed design completed, the building consent application will be lodged for both facilities.

Following on from the detailed design, it is the intention (in the first week of April) to go out to market and tender for the construction of the dog pounds. Approval for this was from the Procurement Board in May 2018.

It is also the intention to present the supplier recommendation report at the Procurement Board meeting during the first week in July 2019 and seek approval from the Council Meeting of the 28th June 2019 for the appointment of a suitable contractor to build the facilities. It is expected that the construction contract for the facilities can be entered by the second week of July.

Following on from the appointment of a contractor, it is estimated that a “sod-turning” event(s) can be planned for the third week in July, prior to the contractor establishing the construction site.

It is estimated that with a potential three months construction period, the construction of both facilities will be completed by December 2019, dependent on the appointed contractor’s availability.  Priority will be given to completing the Northern facility ahead of the southern facility.

This report is an information-only report to update and inform the Committee on the planning and progress of the Dog Pounds projects design.  No decisions are required at this time.

3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

The Ngawha (Southern Dog Pound) facility has had a budget of $679,263 in 18/19 and this has been increased to $693,185 for 19/20.

The Kaitaia (Northern Dog Pound) has a carry forward funding available in 18/19 of $586,535.
