DAVID BEATTIE, Governor-General

ORDER IN COUNCIL

At the Government House at Wellington this 22nd day of July 1985

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL

PURSUANT to section 208 of the Public Works Act 1981, His Excellency the Governor-General, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, hereby makes the following order.

ORDER

1. This Order may be cited as the Pukerimu Irrigation Order 1985.

2. The Minister of Works and Development is hereby authorised to construct, maintain and control the water supply works described in the First Schedule hereto to serve the district described in the Second Schedule hereto. On completion the Waipa County Council shall administer the scheme on behalf of the Minister.

3. The area of land described in the said Second Schedule is hereby constituted as an irrigation district, to be known as the Pukerimu Irrigation District (herein referred to as "the district").

4. It is hereby declared that the annual basic charge payable on all irrigable land within the district shall be $245 an irrigable hectare and the annual water availability charge payable in respect of water supplied shall be $162 per 1000 cubic metres.

5. The annual basic and water availability charges shall be reduced for the first 4 seasons of supply as set out in the Third Schedule hereto.

The level of charges for the fifth and subsequent seasons are calculated so that the balance of the deferred or reduced charges of the first 4 seasons of supply are recovered uniformly over the remaining irrigation seasons for which charges under section 214 of the Act are payable.

6. Basis of allocation—supply of water is subject to water right 4724 issued by the Waikato Valley Authority. The right provides for the taking of up to 225 litres per second up to a maximum of 19 420 cubic metres per day from the Waikato River.

Water will be allocated and supplied to an occupier under a water availability agreement based on the occupier's irrigable area and the irrigation system to be employed on that area.

The minimum amount of water that will be allocated in the first 5 years of operation will be 2950 cubic metres per irrigable hectare.

Any water used in excess of the amount allocated under a water availability agreement is defined as surplus water. Within the irrigation district, any surplus water used within the defined irrigation season up to a total maximum use of 5700 cubic metres per irrigable hectare will be supplied on the same terms and conditions as those pertaining to the water availability agreement.

Any water taken within the defined irrigation season in excess of 5700 cubic metres per irrigable hectare will be charged at 125 percent of the availability charge for that irrigation season, and this availability charge will not be subject to reductions during the first 4 seasons of supply.

The availability charge for water used in excess of 5700 cubic metres per irrigable hectare, and for surplus water supplied to occupiers with no irrigable area within the irrigation district, will be reviewed annually and if necessary, adjusted accordingly.

7. The charges shall be payable for a period of 20 consecutive seasons commencing at the start of the first year of supply for the scheme as determined and notified according to section 217 of the Act. The charges shall be subject to adjustment to compensate for any difference in any element of these charges previously estimated pursuant to the provisions of the Act.

8. The irrigation season shall extend from 15 September to 30 April inclusive. Scheme charges incurred over the preceding irrigation season will be invoiced as at 30 April of each year and due for payment without penalty within 28 days of date of invoice. Scheme charges incurred between 30 April and 15 September will be invoiced as at 15 September of each year and due for payment without penalty within 28 days of date of invoice.

9. The minimum aggregate area of land held by an occupier that will be included in the irrigation district shall be 4.1 hectares.

FIRST SCHEDULE

WATER SUPPLY WORKS

THE Pukerimu Irrigation Works by which means water can be drawn from the Waikato River by a piped water supply, treated and filtered at headworks as necessary, will be pumped by variable speed pumps through the distribution works through a flow control valve as appropriate to enable trickle and spray irrigation of horticultural crops.

The said works include all reservoirs, piping, gauges, bores, valves, pumps, meters and housing and all other works incidental to or required for the construction and also initial maintenance and control of the said works for the irrigation of the district.
