Tararua District Councillors have voted unanimously to spend $1 million to plan repairs to Dannevirke’s impounded water supply.
The dam has been plagued with issues, and while a number of repairs have already been made, further work is needed.
The Council has so far spent $286,000, excluding staff time, on the dam.
