Water

Council manages the operations for urban water supply, wastewater and stormwater; as well as monitoring of these services. These three services are often referred to as the three waters. Effective handling of urban water supply, wastewater and stormwater is critical for maintaining the South Waikato District’s waterways and community health.

The Water Supply team operates and maintains the District’s water schemes and responds on a 24-hour basis to unplanned events.

The team has a broad spectrum of competent and skilled staff capable of undertaking a number of core functions. These include delivery of potable household water, water treatment, laboratory work, remote monitoring and control and other areas such as light engineering, small motor repairs and swimming pool maintenance.

Any inquiries relating to water or to report an issue email: info@southwaikato.govt.nz (to the Water Supply Team) or call 07 885 0340.
