Citycare Water to Deliver Three Waters Services for Thames-Coromandel District Council

28 July 2025

In a significant milestone that further strengthens Citycare Water’s position as New Zealand’s leading three-waters operations and maintenance contractor, we are delighted to announce that Citycare Water has been selected to provide three-waters operations and maintenance services for the Thames-Coromandel District Council. The contract will commence on 1 April 2026. Under the new contract, Citycare Water will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater networks and treatment plants across the region. The specialist treatment expertise of our subsidiary, Apex Water will support these services.

This contract means we now manage approximately 20,000 kilometres of water networks, servicing around 25.5% of New Zealand households.

Thames-Coromandel District Council was seeking a delivery solution that could offer not only high-quality service and technical expertise but also long-term value, cost certainty, reliable support during weather events, and a strong local presence. We’re pleased that our proven approach — combining reliable field delivery, community-focused teams, and a deep commitment to “Safe Water for Life” — aligned with Council expectations.

Under the contract terms, Citycare Water will establish five regional offices around the Coromandel and employ approximately 48 staff.

“We’re looking forward to collaborating with the Thames-Coromandel community and bringing the best of Citycare Water to the district — delivering smart, sustainable water services that protect the environment and support community wellbeing,” said Tim Gibson, Citycare Water CEO.
