Debbie Stewart

Debbie Stewart is a concerned resident of Central Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, who recently voiced her frustration regarding the significant increase in water rates projected for the region. She expressed her discontent at the high rates already faced by residents, which are among the highest in New Zealand, and lamented the lack of value received for such costs. Stewart highlighted the impact of these rising rates on local residents, particularly those on fixed incomes, and noted a trend of people moving away due to the financial strain of escalating costs.
