Action plan sets out path towards safe drinking water

The Water Services Authority – Taumata Arowai Compliance, Monitoring and Enforcement Strategy 2025-28 (CME strategy), makes clear the next steps that drinking water suppliers must take toward achieving that vision.

Head of Operations Steve Taylor says the strategy sets out a three-year action plan for safer drinking water and what they expect drinking water suppliers to do in addressing the most significant risks to public health from the drinking water they supply.

It focuses the biggest risks identified in the Drinking Water Regulation Report 2024 (DWRR 2024) and outlines what suppliers need to do to address these. Namely, suppliers improving their systems, practices and infrastructure so that so that everyone has safe drinking water basics in place.
