The committee are working with her to review the water safety plan for the community to acknowledge the improvements that have already been made to the supply, and to plan for future opportunities.
Please contact Gwen at the office if you’d be interested in a kōrero with Kathryn about cleaning and disinfecting your onsite storage tanks.
