We provide safe and clean drinking water to over 82% of the population of the District. We are committed to providing all consumers with an affordable, reliable supply of water that meets the New Zealand Drinking Water Standards.

Water is delivered to consumers in two different ways – On Demand and Restricted.

On Demand Supply - Water is delivered directly to the consumer from the point of supply.

There may be times when it is necessary for consumers to conserve water.  For information on how to conserve water, refer to the water conservation page.

Restricted Supply – Restricted volume of water delivered to the consumers storage tank over a 24 hour period.
