Answer

I am advised by the Ministry of Education (the Ministry) that five self-supplied Ashburton District schools are being assessed and upgraded by the Ministry. Final solutions for each supply have not been determined as all projects remain in active phases of delivery as part of the Safer Drinking Water for Schools Programme.
