shows that groundwater levels are generally stable, with fluctuations the result of
seasonal rainfall and pumping effects. It was noted that we are already starting to see
an increase in demand for ground water and this has the potential to grow in response
to pressure on surface water. However, it is not expected that this will place
groundwater under significant pressure in the near future. Also, groundwater

significant pressure. While there may be an increase in demand as people look to move away from less
secure surface water sources, this is not expected to place groundwater under significant pressure in the
short to medium term.
As expected, monitored groundwater sites display fluctuations in water level as a result of seasonal
variations in rainfall recharge. The magnitude of these changes varies considerably by site, ranging from
a few millimetres up to several metres. The …

There were eight unauthorised incidents that occurred at the NPWWTP during the year; three due to
blockages, two due to heavy rainfall, and three due to operator errors. Four events were recorded for sewer
pump stations (all due to high rainfall), and a further 15 reticulation overflows (the majority of which were
due to high rainfall or blockages due to fat and/or wet

The monitoring showed that the activities were generally being carried out in compliance with the
conditions of the resource consent. The results of surface and groundwater quality monitoring undertaken
show no adverse effects of the activity on local fresh water resources. Site visits undertaken found the site
to be tidy and well managed.

Overview of surface water quantity
Taranaki receives frequent and plentiful rainfall. The amount of rainfall is extremely variable however,
increases significantly from the region’s coastal fringes to areas of higher elevation across the eastern hill
country and the slopes of Taranaki Maunga. Much of this rainfall rapidly flows to the sea via rivers
