Daily Grab Samples

The quality of wastewater is controlled and monitored as it leaves the wastewater treatment plants.

Each day New Zealand Steel laboratory staff take samples of the wastewater before the discharge enters the Waiuku Estuary. The onsite laboratory tests these samples and the results are reviewed to ensure that discharges continue to comply with resource consent conditions. The results are reported to the Auckland Council each month, and the Community Environmental Committee four monthly.
