Subject: Official Information request - Copies of any documentation (particularly reports and submissions) to PFAS or "forever chemical" use in New Zealand

Dear Environmental Protection Authority,

Can you please provide any documentation (particularly reports and submissions) from the last 12 months relating to the use of PFAS or "forever chemicals" in New Zealand.

I am particularly interested in any testing results in water supplies showing PFAS/forever chemicals in public water supplies.

Yours faithfully,

M H

Dear M Hitchman
 
Thank you for your Official Information Act request.
 
To ensure that we supply the relevant information or to ensure that the
request is transferred to the appropriate agency, could you please clarify
what you mean by “public water supplies”?
 
Public water supplies could have a range of meanings, making the scope of
your request very large.  Are you looking for reports and submissions on
PFAS testing of, for example, water reservoirs, catchment areas and/or
public drinking water facilities?
 
Thank you.
 
Regards
Andrew
