We hereby acknowledge receipt of your information request under the Official Information Act 1982.

Generally, public sector agencies must respond to official information requests as soon as they can and within 20 working days. However, the response date needs to take into consideration the summer holidays (25 December to 15 January) and Waitangi Day (6 February 2024). This would make our response to you due by 12 February. While we don't treat this date as a target, we need to mention this to you because key people who would assist in the response may be away on holiday.

All the best for the festive season and we will contact you in the new year.

Ngâ mihi

Please find attached a formal notice from us to extend the deadline for our response to your request under section 15A of the OIA.

We have also transferred the part of your request which asks for information on nanoparticles and microplastics under section 14 to the Ministry for the Environment, as they are the best agency to respond. The transfer letter with details is attached.

Your request is quite broad. We have interpreted your request as asking for all information Taumata Arowai holds on chemicals and metals in drinking water, including historical data.
Because of this there is a large volume of records associated with the current parameters of your request, and this would require substantial collation from us.

We are seeking clarification from you on your request to understand what you are looking for.
Can you please confirm if you are looking for information related to chemicals and metals in a specific water supply OR at a specific point in time?
