Water education resources

We have activities and resources for teachers with students studying water supply.

Council's water team can assist schools, individuals and community groups with a variety of educational resources relating to the city water supply.  Our water team works with schools on a range of educational water projects. They are available to: 

• speak to your students
• supply student-friendly resource material
• provide free class tours of the Waingake and Waipaoa treatment plants

Contact us to book a tour, class visit or get some resource material.
