Severe alert

Severe weather events

We are working with water suppliers to manage the potential impacts of severe weather events on drinking water supplies. Your water supplier will let you know what to do if you are impacted.

Ways to comply

Information about the different compliance pathways that drinking water suppliers might be able to follow to meet their responsibilities.

The Water Services Authority - Taumata Arowai helps to develop Drinking Water Standards and are responsible for making Drinking Water Quality Assurance Rules, Aesthetic Values and Acceptable Solutions.

Collectively, these set minimum requirements for drinking water suppliers and help ensure communities receive safe drinking water. You can learn about them in this section.
