At significant cost, Te Taumutu Rūnanga has invested in a purpose-designed, environmentally sustainable wastewater system that filters waste through to an onsite eco-trench. To protect the integrity and performance of this system, all whānau and manuhiri (visitors) must use organic, chlorine-free cleaning and personal hygiene products.

Any visiting manuhiri with pēpi/tamariki wearing disposal nappies are required to take the used nappies home for disposal. They are NOT to be deposited into our rubbish receptacles.


We appreciate your commitment to our kaitiakitanga values.
