Clutha District Council is vigilant in monitoring the water supply and conducts routine monitoring. Council has also produced Water Safety Plans to guide the safe management of drinking water supply and identify any potential risks to our consumers. The plan also sets out what we are doing to eliminate, minimise or mitigate the potential risks.
To keep us all safe, it is important that the quality of the water being supplied to everyone in the Clutha District is regularly monitored. Council uses an external contractor to look after the day-to-day management and operations of the water supply network in Clutha District. Our water treatment plants are operated by trained staff, and samples are sent to a IANZ (International Accreditation New Zealand) accredited laboratory for analysis.
For more information, Water New Zealand has produced this interesting booklet.
Taumata Arowai is committed to all people in New Zealand having safe drinking water. If you have questions or concerns about your drinking water, you can also find more information on their website here.
