Abstract
The purpose of these Regulations is to reduce the risk of contamination of drinking-water sources by requiring regional councils to consider the effects of certain activities on drinking-water sources such as granting water permits for activities that may occur upstream of an abstraction point.
The Regulations also require regional councils and territorial authorities to impose a notification requirement on certain resource consents in the circumstances where an event occurs that may have a significant adverse effect on the quality of the water. Different criteria shall apply for granting resource consents depending on whether the drinking water concerned currently meets the health quality criteria or does not meet the health quality criteria.
