Ministry of Health Grading: Bc

In September 2006, the new secure ground water source began supplying the Kaikoura township.  The water from this source is of exceptional quality, needing no treatment whatsoever, however some chlorination continues to be added to eliminate contamination from any residual matter in the pipework infrastructure.  This ground water source will provide a secure, quality supply of water for a permanent population of up to 5,000, and cater for up to 2 million visitors.
