Water use, takes and metering
We monitor and manage water use and takes to ensure our waterways stay healthy.
Depending on how much water you wish to use, you may need to install a water meter, register your take or if you wish to use significant amounts, apply for a resource consent.
Resource consents allow for groundwater or surface water to be allocated amongst different users.
Accurate water information is essential for effective water management within the Bay of Plenty.
