Water education

On the Kāpiti Coast, everybody recognises that water is a resource we need to use wisely. We need to make sure that we, and future generations, have a reliable, quality water supply and have healthy streams, rivers and lakes. You can find out more about Kāpiti's drinking water at Water supply.

Our role is to:

  • ensure the community has a healthy, reliable and affordable water supply
  • work with the community to manage their water use so we can ensure that our water supplies are sufficient for now and into the future.

Learning about our water supply and ways of using water wisely has wide support in our community.

Our Safe Drinking Water – video

A 30 minute version of the film, Our Safe Drinking Water, has been developed for use in schools. It features a visit by students from Paekākāriki School to the Waikanae Water Treatment Plant. This version has been shortened to under 12 minutes for the web.
