Expressions of Interest are open to provide land for MTVKTV works on Rarotonga meanwhile progress continues in improving the quality of water in our lagoons.
Expressions of Interest are open to provide land for Mei Te Vai Ki Te Vai works
The Mei Te Vai Ki Te Vai project is calling for expressions of interest from landowners on Rarotonga to provide parcels of land for construction of future wastewater and sanitation infrastructure.
Expressions must be submitted to the Ministry of Finance and Economic Management (MFEM). The Ministry intends to seek agreements with the owners of suitable land, including compensation. Initially, some land will be needed in the Muri area. There are two options under consideration for the treatment and disposal of wastewater from the area: treatment and land disposal; or treatment and ocean disposal:
If land disposal is chosen, two parcels will be needed – one for the construction of treatment works, and another for disposal of treated wastewater to land.
If ocean disposal is chosen, only one parcel of land will be required, for treatment works and pumping of treated wastewater to an ocean outfall.
Further land will be required for similar solutions as wastewater infrastructure is extended around the island. The application form can be downloaded from the Mei Te Vai Ki Te Vai website: www.vaikitevai.com/eoirarotonga More details about the land we are looking for, including the necessary area, access requirements and other specifications, are included in the form.
Support is available for landowners to put their applications together. Please get in touch with Daryl Rairi on 28851 or 55064 if you feel you need more information or assistance.
Making progress for our lagoons
The core aim of the Mei Te Vai Ki Te Vai project is to improve the water quality of the lagoons and rivers in Rarotonga and Aitutaki.
Our natural environment is at risk, at least in part because of the current lack of adequate public sanitation infrastructure. Without new public wastewater infrastructure and also more effective management of onsite treatment systems, the current issues at Muri are likely to worsen, and develop in other areas.
The Mei Te Vai Ki Te Vai project is moving forward strongly in a number of areas:
Environmental monitoring and investigations
Early measures to help improve Muri Lagoon’s water quality (including dredging)
Design of infrastructure for better wastewater management in the future
Establishment of a crown-owned water and wastewater management authority.
We are finalising a revised plan for the dredging work near the mouth of the Vai Te Renga Stream, near Pacific Resort. We needed to revise our plan because the original approach would be too disruptive to implement during the tourist high-season.
We will also soon provide Government with the technical information they need to make an informed decision about the best option to move forward with for new wastewater infrastructure for Muri. We are also preparing to publish a report of the outcomes of our environmental investigations.
A project of this scale and impact on the community is always expected to encounter a few challenges along the way. This project is no exception, but the challenges encountered so far (for example the dredging delay) have been manageable. The project is moving forward strongly and is on track.
