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/

Infrastructure Design Solutions

We are tasked with developing infrastructure design solutions for wastewater networks. This is a new tool added to the Water Services Act 2021 to complement environmental performance standards. While infrastructure design solutions do not contain mandatory requirements, they can contain technical performance standards, treatment processes, and design and operating requirements for stormwater networks.

Where wastewater infrastructure complies with an infrastructure design solution, it is deemed to comply with the relevant environmental performance standard.

Infrastructure design solutions may be developed in future.
