The Journey Of Our Water
Every delivery starts long before the truck arrives. Rainwater naturally moves through layers of soil, rock and sediment before reaching deep underground aquifers. During this process, the water is naturally filtered and acquires minerals that contribute to its clean, refreshing taste.
Our Multi-Barrier Approach
Water quality is managed through multiple layers of protection from source to delivery.
💧 Source Protection
Our groundwater sources are carefully selected and managed with water quality and long-term sustainability in mind.
🛡️ Bore Security
Bore infrastructure is maintained to help minimise contamination risks at the source.
🔬 Independent Testing
Regular testing monitors microbiological quality, mineral composition, turbidity, pH and other key parameters.
☀️ UV Treatment
Water supplied for drinking purposes is UV treated before distribution.
🚛 Food-Grade Stainless Steel Tankers
Water is transported using dedicated food-grade stainless steel tankers designed specifically for potable water transport.
Water Quality Snapshot
We believe customers deserve to know what is in the water they are receiving. Recent independent laboratory testing has demonstrated excellent clarity, low nitrate levels and a naturally balanced mineral profile.
| Parameter | Representative Laboratory Result | Drinking Water Reference | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| E. coli | Not Detected | Must be absent | ✅ Pass |
| Nitrate as N | 0.48 mg/L | 11.3 mg/L MAV | 4.2% of MAV |
| Turbidity | 0.25 NTU | ≤5 NTU Aesthetic Value | Excellent clarity |
| pH | 8.5 | 7.0–8.5 Aesthetic Range | Within range |
Results shown are representative of recent groundwater testing and are provided for general information purposes.
Naturally Occurring Minerals
Our groundwater contains naturally occurring minerals acquired through contact with underground rock formations over time. These minerals contribute to the unique character and taste profile of artesian groundwater.
| Mineral | Representative Result |
|---|---|
| Silica as SiO₂ | 56 mg/L |
| Calcium | 13 mg/L |
| Magnesium | 2.9 mg/L |
| Potassium | 7.6 mg/L |
| Sodium | 63 mg/L |
| Total Hardness | 45 mg/L |
| Total Alkalinity | 160 mg/L |
Why Our Water Tastes Different
Groundwater naturally acquires minerals as it slowly passes through layers of rock and sediment before reaching underground aquifers.
This natural filtration process contributes to the clean, refreshing taste that many customers notice when compared with heavily treated municipal water supplies.
Unlike water sourced from surface reservoirs, groundwater remains protected from many environmental influences and retains its naturally occurring mineral character.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is your water safe to drink?
Water supplied for drinking purposes is managed under our Drinking Water Safety Plan and undergoes regular testing and UV treatment.
Is chlorine added?
Our groundwater is UV treated rather than relying on routine chlorination, meaning it does not have the strong chlorine taste often associated with town supply.
Where does your water come from?
Our water comes from a network of groundwater bores throughout Rodney and Auckland.
Do you deliver artesian water Auckland-wide?
Yes. We can deliver artesian groundwater throughout Auckland, Rodney and Northland.
However, if your property is located between Orewa and Auckland City, our treated town supply water option will often be the more cost-effective choice for household water deliveries. This is simply due to the additional transport distance required from our nearest artesian groundwater source in the Warkworth area.
If you're unsure which option is best for your property, our team is happy to discuss your location, intended use and water requirements to help you choose the most suitable and cost-effective solution.
What's the difference between artesian water and town supply water?
Our artesian water is sourced from naturally occurring groundwater aquifers and contains naturally occurring minerals acquired through contact with underground rock formations.
Our town supply water is sourced from registered municipal drinking water supplies and provides a cost-effective option for many customers, particularly those located closer to Auckland City.
Both options are suitable for drinking water purposes, and we are happy to help determine which is best suited to your needs.
Can I request water quality information?
Absolutely. We believe in transparency and are happy to discuss our testing programme and water quality monitoring with customers.
