Drinking water assistance programme
Safe drinking-water is a necessity for good health, but many small rural New Zealand communities do not have access to drinking-water that is shown to be safe.
These are the communities that the Ministry of Health would like to help through the Drinking-water Assistance Programme.
This section provides information on the Drinking-water Assistance programme's Technical Assistance Programme (including contact information for the facilitators in each region), the Drinking-water Subsidy Scheme and resources which include information on how to develop a Public Health Risk Management Plan.
