Marae drinking water suppliers campaign resources
Every day, drinking water suppliers play a vital role supporting the health and wellbeing of people across Aotearoa by providing them with safe, reliable drinking water.
We would love your help to ensure marae and small communities understand their responsibilities when it comes to supplying drinking water.
We have a video, social media content and newsletter/email/website wording for you to share with your networks. We have also created a page on our website for marae and small communities who supply drinking water, to help them understand their responsibilities and the compliance pathways available to them.
If you require other resources, please get in touch at info@taumataarowai.govt.nz
Together we can help achieve our vision – Safe water every day for everyone. Kia tiakina te wai hei oranga mō te katoa.

Safe drinking water is vital for our health. For marae and small communities who manage their own drinking water supply, the Water Services Authority – Taumata Arowai has created simpler ways to keep wai safe and meet responsibilities. The Mitimiti drinking water treatment system, owned and operated by Mātihetihe Marae in Te Rarawa rohe, is an example of a community using an Acceptable Solution to provide safe water.

Newsletter / email / website content
Everyone who supplies drinking water to more than 25 people has a legal responsibility to ensure wai is safe to drink.
The Water Services Authority – Taumata Arowai sets the standards for safe drinking water, with several different pathways for people who manage drinking water supplies to meet their responsibilities.
An Acceptable Solution is one way for some small or rural drinking water supplies to comply with regulation. It means water can be treated at or near any buildings where people will drink it, using cartridge filters and ultraviolet (UV) light to disinfect the water.
For drinking water supplies like the one in Mitimiti, owned and operated by Mātihetihe Marae in Te Rarawa rohe, following an Acceptable Solution can be a cheaper and easier way to meet legal responsibilities.
