Wonder how water gets to small or rural communities that are further away from our urban clusters?
Figuring this out, and creating solutions that are accessible and sustainable, that’s the job of Citycare Water’s Small Waters team.
Providing a solution that works for the needs of the local people requires a genuine and long-term engagement with the community, ensuring the water system is not only set up and running, but is also maintained and delivers efficiently over time.
Watch some of the latest work the team have carried out, including developing and maintaining rainwater and bore-water -based systems to ensure access to potable water and to meet irrigation needs of small and rural communities.
A new 80-hectare village in Karaka, South Auckland, with 850 homes to be built over the next eight years, will benefit from the latest smart meter technology in its water infrastructure.
