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.

Guidance and resources

Searchable guidance for drinking water suppliers, wastewater network operators, water carriers, laboratories and the public, including reference guides for managing information in Hinekōrako, our self-service portal.

(Note: If you are looking for the old Ministry of Health guidance and datasheets, we have archived the documents as they are out of date. You can email us for a copy at info@taumataarowai.govt.nz).
