Acceptable Solutions
FILTEC has a range of Acceptable Solutions in various sizes to ensure small drinking water suppliers can provide safe drinking water in a practical, compliant and cost-effective way.
What are Acceptable Solutions?
Taumata Arowai has created acceptable solutions so particularly small suppliers can easily meet their obligations with ready-made water treatment options for varied water sources, qualities and volumes, with separate guides for Roof Water, Spring and Bore Water and Rural Agricultural supplies. These guides clarify what treatment is required and the complete solution must be in place to ensure compliance.
The new water services regulator, Taumata Arowai is dedicated to promoting supplier responsibility and ensuring suppliers meet their duty of care and regulatory obligations. Taumata Arowai is looking to partner with the water services sector and provide good practical guidelines and information to make understanding and achieving compliance easy. The goal of Taumata Arowai is to improve water quality across Drinking Water, Wastewater and Storm water.

Project Case Studies (if any)
FILTEC has a long history of working with major water authorities, city and town councils. Check out our recent projects at Water Treatment Plants.
Pahiatua has historically sourced its drinking water from the Mangatainoka River. However, it frequently suffers from high turbidity and taste and odour issues. A bore was brought online to support the town supply, but it struggles to meet demand during peak seasons.
