Answer

I am advised by the Ministry of Education that the following schools have changed or upgraded their drinking water supplies as a result of exceeding the nitrate drinking water limit in their drinking water supplies in the last five years: • Five Forks School • Te Kowhai School • Ashburton Borough School – Lagmhor site • Harrisville School • Te Wharekura o Te Rau Aroha. This is also my response to written parliamentary question 37326 (2026).
