Water is the lifeblood of our world — a taonga, an asset, and a gift that sustains life.
Our Kūmānu Water team manages the full journey of water through our communities to protect public health, support safety, and reduce environmental impact. We deliver drinking water from treatment plants to properties, ensure wastewater is safely conveyed to treatment facilities, and manage stormwater as it moves through natural and built environments toward the sea.
Our operators and service staff run and maintain the networks, pumps, reservoirs, and treatment plants, and carry out sampling and water-quality monitoring. Our electricians build and maintain the automation systems that control the network, while our civil tradespeople construct essential infrastructure including pipelines, pump stations, and reservoirs.
Specialist technicians and qualified professionals support this work with modern monitoring tools that assess system performance, asset condition, and the chemical and biological health of the water. Their insights help asset owners make informed decisions and ensure our water systems remain reliable, resilient, and environmentally responsible.
