Water is essential to our communities, our environment and our future. 

Selwyn Water is developing its 10-year Water Services Strategy to guide how we provide safe, reliable and affordable drinking water and wastewater services.

Our district continues to grow, and our infrastructure needs ongoing maintenance, renewal and investment. The Strategy will set out how we meet these needs, protect public health and the environment, and maintain affordability for our communities.

What will guide the Strategy 

Our planning will be guided by the following principles:

  • Protect public health and the environment.
  • Deliver safe and reliable water services.
  • Maintain affordability while investing in essential infrastructure.
  • Plan for growth and ensure its costs are fairly allocated.
  • Be transparent about costs, charges and decisions.
  • Take a long-term view, considering current and future generations.
