This Engineering Code of Practice is a comprehensive document which provides guidelines on the engineering standards Council will use when setting conditions for Resource Consents for Subdivision and Land Use projects.

Background information
Hastings District Council’s wastewater discharge consent expires in March 2014.
Hastings is lucky to have a good supply of fresh, clean water from its underground aquifers, but we should not take this for granted. By taking a few simple steps to reduce your water useage now, you can help ensure future generations enjoy the same privilege.
The Council provides stormwater, sewer and water connections. A connection is the piece of pipe that joins your property to the various networks. Applications for a connection are handled by the Resource Management group at the Council.
Most charges for water, stormwater and sewerage services are built into your property's rates. This page explains the various general and targeted charges relating to water services.
