Water Chlorination implemented

Westland District Council has recently installed chlorination equipment at all the previously unchlorinated water supplies and chlorination will begin soon. Council must comply with the Drinking Water Quality Assurance Rules 2022, which impose requirements on drinking water suppliers relating to the supply of safe drinking water to communities, including chlorination.

Chlorination implementation is scheduled for the following communities:

Kumara
Arahura
Harihari
