New Technical Projects at Water New Zealand for 2017

At the Water Service Managers Group Meeting on 4 November they agreed to fund 3 new technical projects in 2017. These will be as follows:

• Hygiene Guide
• Good practice Guide for developing pressure sewer systems
• Code of Practice for Water Metering – an update of the 2003 Guide

It is expected these will be completed by the end of 2017.

In addition, we have commenced a project with the University of Canterbury Quake Centre and IPWEA on the development of a decision support framework as part of our collaborative initiative on evidence based investment decision making for 3 waters pipe networks. Details of the deliverables for this project are still being finalised but will be posted to our website in the new-year.

• Hygiene Guide
• Good practice Guide for developing pressure sewer systems
