Free testing kits
Nitrate Watch is a GNS research project helping communities look after their drinking water by offering a free, confidential testing service to measure nitrate levels in bores and springs. Nitrate Watch is supplying free testing kits to anyone whose drinking water comes from a bore or spring. The kits are available from the Kaipara District Council offices (Mangawhai or Dargaville). Alternatively, you can email nitratewatch@gns.cri.nz with your postal address for a free testing kit.
