tēnā koutou, this is wonderful to see but is it enough?
cool but the council still drags its feet on infrastructure fixes. classic.
oh please, you're probably one of those nimbys blocking everything
if it helps even one person not get sick it's worth it
Great community effort! 🌿
this is nice but who's gonna maintain it when the novelty wears off?
my uncle was one of those who got sick back then. good to see some action finally mate

nah the council does nothing cos theyre useless
Ten years and we still have boil water notices in other towns lol what a joke
and whose fault is that?
Amazing work by the locals. Shows what happens when ppl give a shit instead of waiting for someone else.
positive vibes only mate let the volunteers do their thing
Doesn't look like much more than a few reeds tbh. Hope they actually survive summer.
lmfao get real, we can walk and chew gum at the same time
real change starts at the community level, but the gov need to get their act together on water quality.
yeah nah it's a start but we need actual regulation not just photo ops
exactly, start somewhere at least
