Water
A reliable and safe reticulated domestic water supply is
provided to 5,750 of the district's population in Te Kaha, Ohiwa,
Opotiki, Hikutaia and Waiotahi Drifts. Planning for
the future supply needs and monitoring water quality is part of the
Council's role.
Council has a statutory responsibility to improve, promote and protect public health within the district. Council is thus required to identify the need for water supply, and either provide the supply or maintain an overview of the supply if it is provided by others.
