Industry News

Taumata Arowai Seeks Drinking-Water Treatment Equipment Suppliers 

The Taumata Arowai (water regulator) establishment unit is looking to develop an acceptable solution for household point-of-entry type water treatment systems in New Zealand for use in rural/agricultural supplies, and is collecting information about the range of cartridge filter and UV disinfection systems currently available. The goal is for equipment compliant with this acceptable solution to be widely available and economic whilst setting a standard that provides potable water with an acceptable level of risk. If your company currently sells drinking water treatment equipment of this type it would be helpful if you are able to provide some brief information about the products that you sell by 26 June 2020.

Young Water Professionals Drinks, Banter and Games 

25 June - Christchurch 

A certain global event meant that the start of the year didn’t go exactly to plan. Now that we have a bit more freedom, the Christchurch Young Water Professionals Committee has decided to ease back into its events calendar with an evening of drinks, games, and sharing stories. However, there is a catch: the c-word (COVID) cannot be mentioned. So put on a brave face and come mingle with some other bubbles, all while trying to avoid the most topical thing on everyone’s mind.
