Regulatory Stance on Chloramination:
- If chloramines have not been used by any water suppliers in New Zealand to date, please provide information on whether chloramination is an acceptable means of water disinfection under current New Zealand regulations.
- Please also clarify if there is a possibility that chloramination could be adopted as a water disinfection method in the future, according to current regulatory guidelines and policies.
Please provide any supporting documents, reports, or communications related to the use of chloramines in New Zealand's water supply and the regulatory stance on this disinfection method.
