Leak Detection notifications are sent to customers, when the leak identified is greater than 10 litres

per hour. Follow up notices are sent to residents, monthly for a three month period after the initial

notification

Myh20 registrations have decreased due to the Department of Housing de-registering their properties from this system. However, processes are in place to re-register them with revised contact details.

Drinking Water samples are taken at the outlet of Water Treatment Plants and within the reticulation

network. A summary of the performance is detailed below.

Eton Reticulation samples for Selenium above 10 ug/L but below15ug/L (limit of 15ugL). Measured values were between 10 -14ug/L.

Note: The updated AWDG (Jan 2017) has changed the methodoloty for triggering reporting. The level of precision has been changed from using 2 significant figures to 1 significant figure.

5.2. Wastewater Compliance

The discharges from wastewater treatment facilities are regulated by Development Approvals issued

by the Department of Environment and Resource Management. The licence requirements differ

based on the time the Development Approval was issued and the receiving environment associated

with any discharges.

5.3. Backflow Testing

Backflow devices are installed on water services where there is a risk that water could return from a

private property back into the Water Reticulation network. The requirement for backflow devices is

regulated in accordance with the Standard Plumbing and Drainage Regulation.

All wastewater tests for samples logged at the time of reporting were compliant.

Please Note: as at 28 February some test results are still to be released
