Drinking Water for New Zealand

Microbiological contaminants should be monitored for in all supplies and hence are known as Priority 1 determinands. A second level, defined as Priority 2 determinands, do not have to be measured in every supply but are specified for only those supplies which the Ministry of Health believes exceed half the maximum allowable value (MAV) for a particular health-significant determinand.
Only supplies with populations of 100 or more have been assessed, and the population must be at least 500 before a Priority 2 determinand is officially assigned and appears in the Register of Community Drinking-Water Supplies in New Zealand (and hence have "Test for" in these web pages.)
This list will be updated weekly from the National DWO database.
