Water supply is a core service of the Council and a sound water supply is a prerequisite to public health and safety and economic well being. When the quality of any of our water supplies is compromised the communities affected will be publicly notified.
All the water treatment plants are monitored by trained water technicians who carry out regular tests to ensure the water complies with the District Health Board standard. We also have an online monitoring system that checks processes and monitors the water quality 24 hours a day – if anything isn’t quite right, the system will alert water treatment staff via email and their mobile phones. We always have staff on call for after hour emergencies to ensure only water that is safe to drink is distributed through the system.
