The recent enquiry into the contamination of the Havelock North public water supply has highlighted a number of areas for improvement in the management of public water supplies throughout New Zealand. To ensure Horizons are meeting our requirements regarding the protection of drinking water quality, Horizons - in partnership with territorial authorities and drinking water assessors at MidCentral Health - recently commissioned Pattle Delamore Partners Ltd. to complete a stocktake of water supplies in the Horizons Region and prioritise actions to minimise the risk of contamination. This recent report, along with other drinking water information is available to read below.
