Water

Water is our most precious resource – we can’t make more. To the average person, water is water. But we break it down into three areas: drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater.

A major Government-led reform of New Zealand's three waters is under way. We're working through understanding what it could mean for our community. More details on the three waters reform page.

Drinking water

Drinking water is the water that comes into your tap.

Wastewater

Wastewater is everything that goes down a drain inside your home or business.

Stormwater

Stormwater is the water that goes down a drain outside your home or on the street.
