Contact Us ▸
Our on-site water team has years of experience in designing and managing water systems, having efficiently managed over 500 on-site systems across New Zealand.

We’re well placed to provide the technical support you need to inform your decision-making including OPEX, CAPEX, compliance, risk management and renewal prioritisation.

Let's get you and your community set up with practical systems for clean drinking water and safe wastewater.

Looking to meet Water Services Act requirements?

If your organisation provides drinking water to club members, visitors, staff, students, campers, customers, or the public from a water supply system that you own or operate, you will have obligations under the Water Services Act 2021 and the requirements administered by The Water Services Authority - Taumata Arowai – the drinking water regulator for New Zealand.

We're a Taumata Arowai approved panel member, and whether you know exactly what you need or you are still working it out, our team is happy to have a conversation.

Get in touch with our team and we will help you find the right path forward.
