Water group offers flood relief pūtea
Waipuna aa rangi, which represents the seven mana whenua members for the three waters iwi regional group for Water Services Entity A, has given $177,500 in flood relief to community organisations across Tāmaki and Te Tai Tokerau.
Chair Tukoroirangi Morgan says even though the failing water infrastructure that exacerbated flooding across the region is not of its making, the rōpū is doing what we can to support recovery efforts.
The funding is spread among 34 organisations, including marae as well as hapū and iwi who stepped up frontline services during the red weather warning.
