How do you go about upgrading 460 school water supplies when you know almost nothing about them and they need to comply with new drinking water regulations. This was the challenge that the Ministry of Education (MoE) faced when Taumata Arowai rolled out the new Drinking Water Quality Assurance Rules and Acceptable Solutions in 2022.
Join the Manawatu Branch and Young Engineers as we hear from Robert van Bentum, who was Chief Water Services Advisor for the MoE at the time of this upgrade programme, who'll discuss the approach adopted, the solutions developed and progress achieved to date.
