Water is part of everyday life — from the tap in your kitchen to the systems working quietly underground. This page explains where your water comes from, how it is managed, how quality is monitored, and how we can all help use it wisely.

When we talk about Your Water, we mean the whole system — drinking water supplied to homes and businesses, wastewater services that safely remove and treat used water, the networks and infrastructure that connect them, the source water (rivers, aquifers, bores) that feeds them, and the long-term resilience of all of that for future generations.
Water services are essential. Caring for them is a shared responsibility — between Waikato Waters, councils, iwi, and the communities we serve.
Most of the water we supply comes from rivers, streams, aquifers, and local bores across the Waikato region. We monitor source water quality, treat it to national drinking water standards, and deliver it through networks that operate around the clock.
Wastewater is collected, treated, and safely managed under regulated environmental standards — protecting the awa and moana that connect us all.
