Located just across the street from the town’s water supply, the site has a troubling history—including toxic gas incidents, water leaks, and a court-ordered shutdown—and has drawn fierce opposition from locals, the Grey District Council, and even the Mayor. A grassroots group, GUTTD, is leading the charge against the expansion, demanding stricter safeguards for drinking water and cultural sites. The company has until August 2026 to provide more data, but legal battles over public criticism and past violations continue to simmer. With the community on high alert, this isn’t just about waste—it’s about safety, accountability, and the future of Greymouth’s water.
