Safe drinking water for campers
Under campground regulations, operators must provide water that is potable (safe to drink). Any campground or campsite that manages its own drinking water supply has a duty to make sure it’s safe.
The Water Services Authority – Taumata Arowai has advice for campground and campsite operators that includes:
- managing risks to your water source
- treating water to make it safe to drink
- keeping visitors informed
- being prepared for emergencies.
