Subject: Official Information request - Request for Details on Wells and
Groundwater Bores in Auckland Region

 

Dear Auckland Council,

My request pertains to all wells and groundwater bores within the Auckland
region, covering both public and private entities.

Specifically, I am seeking the following information:

A comprehensive list of all wells and groundwater bores in the Auckland
region, including but not limited to those used for municipal,
agricultural, industrial, and private residential purposes.

Details on the location and depth of each well and groundwater bore,
indicating whether these measurements pertain to the total depth or the
water level depth, if applicable.

The results of any water quality testing conducted on these wells and
groundwater bores, including the dates of testing, parameters tested, and
the outcomes of such tests. I am particularly interested in data related
to water safety, contamination levels, and compliance with health
standards.

I understand that some of this information may be held in confidence for
various reasons. However, I ask that the Auckland Council consider the
public interest in making this data accessible, especially concerning
environmental management, public health, and safety considerations.

Should certain parts of this request be denied, I kindly request that you
provide the information that can be disclosed and specify the reasons for
any refusal.

I prefer to receive this information in electronic format.

Thank you for your attention to this request. I look forward to your
prompt response within the 20 working days as stipulated by the Official
Information Act.

Yours faithfully,

Mr Davies
