matt@waimeaweekly.co.nz Shares are now for sale in Waimea Irrigators Limited. The latest offer to buy water shares opened on June 21 and is available publicly for irrigators on the Waimea plains. Waimea Irrigators Limited was formed in 2016 to complete the Waimea Community Dam project, alongside the Tasman District Council. The objective of Waimea Irrigators Limited, alongside the TDC, is to invest in the project through Waimea Water. The group is offering 2,375 shares for sale, with a price set at $6,325 per share. Shares were previously sold in 2018. Murray King, chair of Waimea Irrigators Limited, says that the drought in Tasman gives good reasons for irrigators on the Waimea plains to invest in the future of their business, by investing in a secure water supply. “Everyone across the region felt the effect of the severe drought we faced last summer.”
