We all agree that we want clean, safe drinking water and while this is the case for most New Zealanders, on this side of the House we prefer not to leave people behind. We want to make sure that the approximately 20 percent of our population whose water quality is not currently guaranteed can also feel assured about the safety of their water. Many of those 20 percent live in rural communities, and it would be such a disservice to not extend the same level of drinking water quality to them as their counterparts in the cities. The Minister's Supplementary Order Paper extends the deadline for when small suppliers can register with Taumata Arowai to four years, and when they must provide a plan, if required, to seven years. These amendments were the direct response to concerns raised by the community and the rural suppliers. This extended transition window, in conjunction with acceptable solutions, provides sufficient time for these suppliers to organise themselves and become compliant with the legislation. It is certainly not a one-size-fits-all solution, and doesn't need to be.
