Ngā Otinga Pai,
Acceptable Solutions

Acceptable Solutions provide drinking water suppliers with a ready-made option to meet their compliance obligations under the Water Services Act 2021. They apply to particular supply types and situations and must be implemented in their entirety.

These first three working drafts have been developed in collaboration with sector reference groups from various water supply types across Aotearoa. We are publishing them to share our thinking with you. 

We’re now analysing the submissions received from our public consultation and will share a summary of them once this is complete, including any changes we make to finalise the documents and what this means for drinking water suppliers.
