Have your say on proposed updates to the Drinking Water Quality Assurance Rules

We’re consulting on proposed changes to the Drinking Water Quality Assurance Rules to make compliance clearer and easier to follow for large supplies (those serving 501 or more people), while maintaining strong public health protections. Find out more and have your say on our consultation site. https://korero.taumataarowai.govt.nz/regulatory/rules-review-large-supplies/

Stormwater network register

We may establish and maintain a public register of urban stormwater networks.

The public register of stormwater networks includes information on urban stormwater networks operated by councils, council-controlled organisations or their subsidiaries. 

It currently includes a limited range of information but will be expanded and updated in the future. We also intend to include information on urban stormwater networks operated by government departments and the New Zealand Defence Force.
