Health water grade.

WHAT THIS TELLS US
Water grades range from aa to ee. ‘a’ refers
to the quality of the water treatment and ‘a’
refers to the quality of the pipe network. aa
graded water supplies are described by the
Ministry of Health as “completely satsfactory
with an extremely low level of risk”.
*Due to a recent boundary change some new propertes
with ungraded water supplies that were in Waikato
District have now become part of the city. Work is under
way to have them graded and in due course to move
them to an aa grading.
We’re in the water
business to provide
Hamiltonians with a
high quality, reliable
and sustainable supply.
