Queenstown Airport on treated wastewater going into Shotover
Queenstown Airport said pumping treated sewage into the Shotover river is not the only way to lower the risk of bird strikes from the animals congregating on waste water near the runway. It would be happy with net covers. The Queenstown Lakes District Council says it's being forced to use emergency powers to dump 12,000 cubic metres of effluent into the river each day, because the current disposal filed is failing, with water ponding on the surface. Queenstown Airport Chief Operating Officer Todd Grace spoke to Lisa Owen.
