We work with the best technical specialists in their fields to repair, maintain and upgrade the scheme - ensuring absolute reliability in the supply of water to our shareholders, while maximising the life expectancy of our scheme infrastructure.
We value the partnerships with our stakeholders in the community, and across the regulatory and environmental space we occupy. Our thanks to all who, along with NOIC, contribute to the vibrant state of the Waitaki region and its economy.

This organisation was active in the 1990’s and 2000’s. The group has been resurrected in 2013 by 15 farmers keen to improve water quality and promote good pastoral management. The farmers wish to take a proactive leadership role in managing waterways, such as the Kakanui River, to ensure that a holistic approach is taken, encompassing the environmental, economic and social wellbeing of the wider community.
