Figure 10 Water Consumption per capita/day Picton Demand in Havelock - Future growth of Havelock is included in the North Marlborough Urban Growth Strategy. However the population growth will need to be re-considered once the projections from Statistics New Zealand are released in 2015. Havelock would seem to have many characteristics in common with Picton. Metered consumption by businesses appear to be around 20% of total water delivery. Modelling would suggest that unaccounted for water in Havelock is around 400 m/day, in excess of 50% of the3 volume pumped into supply. The opportunity to meet future domestic demand needs through a water management strategy is apparent. Demand in Renwick - Demographic projections suggest that the expected slow-down in population growth will be most apparent in rural areas. However, Renwick may experience an urban growth profile as a satellite settlement to Blenheim. There is evidence that Renwick is becoming a dormitory settlement. Demand is largely for domestic usage and leakage is estimated to be very high. Industrial Consumption in Marlborough - A detailed study of industrial and commercial land use requirement was included in the Urban Growth Strategy development. The amount of land required and the types of business are discussed in detail along with analysis of potential sites. The water demand of the businesses cannot be known. One of the recommended approaches: “..cluster less visually attractive activities and activities with potential off-site impacts at large, well, buffered locations where they can be less visually and physically separated from existing and possible future sensitive uses.” This policy would likely result in new high consumption industries gravitating to the existing sites in Riverlands, the port areas at Picton and Havelock or to out-of-town industrial parks. Many of the major ‘wet’ industries have developed their own private source of water from bores into the shallow aquifers, abstraction or on-site capture and storage. The allocation of water abstraction rights is managed through the Resource Consenting process. The current position on the Wairau Aquifer is that the total volumes of permitted abstraction are over-allocated when Page 42
