Adopt a Drain

AKV is rolling out the Adopt a Drain programme across the Kaikorai catachment. When an individual or organisation adopts a drain, they commit to keeping the drain free of rubbish and debris, making sure that no pollutants go down the drain, and to notify the council if any issues arise. By doing these simple actions, the Kaikorai Stream will have clearer water, and the risk of flooding and pollution in our environment is decreased.

If you're keen to adopt a drain, please contact us drains@akv.nz. A volunteer will guide you through the process and a fish plaque will be installed on your drain. The fish is a visual reminder that anything going into the drain will impact upon the fish that live in our local awa.
