Taumata Arowai Proposed Wastewater Standards
2025
New Zealand's Water Services Authority, Taumata Arowai, sought feedback on its proposed Wastewater Standards, which aim to establish clear regulatory expectations for wastewater management across the country.
The proposed standards focus on key consenting matters, including the discharge of treated wastewater to water or land, the application and use of biosolids, and the management of overflows and bypasses. These areas are critical to ensuring environmental sustainability, public health protection, and compliance with evolving regulatory frameworks.
Lowe Environmental Impact (LEI) has submitted our review of the proposed standards, assessing their potential implications, challenges, and opportunities.
