Kua piki haere te rongonui o ngā wāhi kaukau i roto i ngā whare iti nā te mea he maha ngā whakamahinga, he iti te rahi, ā, he kaha hoki ki te whakarato i tētahi wheako wai katoa i roto i tētahi wāhi iti. Ko te roa o tētahi wāhi kaukau i waenga i te 12 ki te 18 putu, he otinga tino pai mō ngā whānau e hiahia ana ki ngā painga o te kaukau me te kore e hiahiatia he puna kaukau nui. I roto i tēnei tuhinga, ka tūhuratia e mātou ngā painga me ngā āhuatanga o ngā wāhi kaukau e pai ai mō ngā whānau iti.
Ko tētahi o ngā painga matua o ngā whare kaukau ko tōna rahi. Ko te roa o te whare kaukau paerewa he 12 ki te 14 putu, he iti ake i te puna kaukau tuku iho, he nui te wāhi e nohoia ana e ia. Nā te iti o te rahi, he mea ātaahua ngā whare kaukau mō ngā kaipupuri whare he iti te wāhi o waho, pērā i te hunga he iti ō rātou kāinga i muri i te whare, i te hunga rānei e noho ana i ngā taiao tāone nui. Ahakoa te iti o te rahi, kua hangaia ngā whare kaukau hei whakarato i te whānuitanga o ngā mahi, tae atu ki te kaukau, te whakangā, me te whakaora wai.
Haunga te penapena wāhi, he āhuatanga ahurei anō hoki ngā wāhi kaukau: te āheinga ki te whakarite i te rere o te wai mō te kaukau. He maha ngā wāhi kaukau e haere mai ana me ngā pupuhi kaha e hanga ana i te ia, e āhei ai ngā kaiwhakamahi ki te kaukau i te wāhi kotahi, e whakaata ana i te wheako kaukau i roto i te puna kaukau rahi-Orimipia. Nā tēnei āhuatanga he pai ngā wāhi kaukau mō ngā whānau e hiahia ana ki te pai ki te kaukau me te whakakori tinana me te kore e hiahiatia he puna kaukau nui, he wāhi whānui rānei. Mā te ia wai e taea te whakarite, he pai hoki mō ngā kaihoe o ngā taumata pūkenga katoa, mai i te tīmatanga ki ngā kaitākaro wheako.
He painga anō hoki ngā wāhi kaukau, arā, he mahi rua. Ehara i te mea he mea hanga mō te kaukau anake; he maha ngā tauira he kaukau wera kua whakauruhia, e āhei ai ngā kaiwhakamahi ki te whakawhiti i waenga i te kaukau whakangā me te kaukau whakahauora. Nā tēnei whakamahinga maha, he mea pai mō te whakamahi whānau, nā te mea ka taea e ngā pakeke me ngā tamariki te whakamahi i te wāhi kaukau hei whakangā, ā, ka taea hoki e ngā mātua te whakamahi mō te whakapakari tinana me te whakakori tinana.
Hei tāpiritanga, he iti ake te penapena hiko o ngā puna kaukau, ā, he iti ake te tiaki e hiahiatia ana i ngā puna kaukau tuku iho. He iti ake te wai e whakamahia ana, he iti ake hoki ngā matū e whakamahia ana, ā, he pai ake te taiao mō ngā whānau. Nā te hoahoa kiato, ka taea hoki te tāuta ngāwari, me te kore e hiahiatia he whenua nui, he hanganga rānei.
Hei whakamutunga, he otinga tino pai ngā wāhi kaukau mō ngā whānau iti e hiahia ana ki te pārekareka ki ngā painga o te kaukau me te whakangā i roto i tētahi kete iti, he maha hoki ngā whakamahinga. Nā te hoahoa penapena wāhi, te rere wai ka taea te whakarerekē, me ngā mahi takirua, kua noho ngā wāhi kaukau hei whiringa rongonui mā te hunga e hiahia ana ki te whakamahi pai i te wāhi iti o waho.
