Answer

I am advised by the Ministry of Education (the Ministry) that the budget used to pay for the upgrades to the drinking water supplies at Ashburton Borough School - Lagmhor site, Five Forks School and Te Kowhai School came from additional Ministry funding. The Ministry has confirmed that it does not hold information on the upgrades at Harrisville School or Te Wharekura o Te Rau Aroha as these projects were funded and managed by the schools themselves.
