Water testing laboratory

Our laboratory offers water testing services to the public.

We test the quality and safety of water including:

• private water supplies including bores, springs and rivers
• swimming pool water
• industrial waste
• other specialised tests on request

Please contact us for advice before you collect a sample to make sure it is correct for the analysis required.

Our laboratory is accredited with International Accreditation New Zealand (IANZ) for a range of chemical and microbiological tests.

We also:

• test Whangārei's public drinking water supply to make sure it meets the standards set by New Zealand's water services regulator Taumata Arowai
• monitor the District's sewage discharges to ensure consent requirements are met.

COVID-19 testing

Whangarei's wastewater is regularly tested for COVID-19 to monitor the community spread of the virus. You can view the latest testing on the ESR website.
