Making Auckland GreaterWater FAQs
Who will be monitoring the quality of water and our waterways?
Auckland Council will be responsible for monitoring and enforcing standards for water quality.
Will people currently using rainwater tanks be forced to use the reticulated water supply?
There has been no discussion about this issue as a part of the change in Auckland governance – these issues will be dealt with by the new Auckland Council, with input from local boards to which residents will have ready access to.
Who will be providing my drinking water?
Water and wastewater services will be provided by one entity, which will be run as a council-controlled organisation. (Unless you live in Papakura, where United Water will continue to deliver this service). This means it will have its own expert board of directors but will be closely controlled by Auckland Council.
