Watercare is proposing to build a new water treatment facility in a Oratia, a small community in the foothills of the Waitakere Ranges. However this proposed watercare system comes at a cost to the community. Watercare needs to acquire property for their new site, and the displacement of 18 local families will result if the proposal goes ahead. Ashleigh McCaull spoke to Oratia resident Paul Goldsmith to get a sense of how the community is feeling.
