Taumata Arowai has been working directly with rural suppliers on simple, cost-effective, acceptable solutions for small suppliers, such as end-point treatment devices, like UV filters. Devices like this are not recognised under the Health Act, so this represents a major step forward for rural supplies, where most of the water goes to stock or horticulture. I understand that both Federated Farmers and Irrigation New Zealand are part of a technical group on this approach, and the work has been positive and constructive. Taumata Arowai provided advice in this area directly to the committee, and I understand that this gave many members on the committee confidence about the direction they are taking. I thank those parties for their participation in this process.
