Red Cross - Alternative Sewage System Grant
NOW CLOSED.
The Red Cross website now shows what appears to be the same grant with a slightly different name and a closing date of the 3rd of October (see here) this part added 12/09/2011.
The information below is from the Red Cross website (here)
$500 per household who have, for at least 90 days, had to find alternatives to using their flushing toilets at home.
The closing date is 9th September 2011.
The significant earthquakes and aftershocks during 2011 rendered parts of the city’s sewerage system unusable for a variety of reasons such as breakages and clogging with sand and silt. Households were asked not to flush their home toilets and used alternatives in a variety of ways including digging long drops in their gardens, using portaloos and using chemical toilets.
This grant recognises the efforts made by households to resume and rebuild their lives while managing the ongoing lack of this service in their homes over a significant period of time including the winter months.
