All water supplies that were registered by the Ministry of Health must comply with all Taumata Arowai new requirements from 1 January 2024 including:

• Water Services Act 2021

• Drinking Water Standards 2022

This means demonstrating compliance with:

• an Acceptable Solution (if applicable and adopted in whole)

  OR

• be reporting to Taumata Arowai for compliance with Quality Assurance Rules AND

• have a Drinking Water Safety Plan and Source Water Risk Management Plan (which includes Te Mana O Te Wai).

• Contact us today to discuss your compliance needs.

For supplies that have registered since Taumata Arowai became the drinking water supply regulator, you have a little longer. Given the lead time for making improvements to some supplies, we suggest you contact us as soon as possible to make wise investment decisions that ensure compliance.
