Overlapping circles Feb 2018

At the start of the business in 1994, the focus was on waste/wastewater. Due to the changing environmental focus in NZ, our work involves the protection or improvement of the ‘waters’ (a term that is becoming widely used in regulatory circles) - stormwater, wastewater and to some degree potable/recycled water. 

We have good working relationships with NZ’s Councils and Water Authorities. We are familiar with the various rules, regulations and Council plans that relate to the protection of natural resources. These are all parts of the practical application of the Resource Management Act (RMA) and its downstream plans and regulations. Our service is personal - the owners of IWS are the ‘workers’ and you will find us and our staff to be professional, personable and pragmatic in solving your issues.

There's a perfect solution to your trade waste or stormwater management needs. We're here to help you find it.

Industry Review

Reflecting on 25 years in the Environmental Sector

We have so much to protect in New Zealand, and in the wider world – we are all so linked in so many ways.

After 25 years in this field I am convinced that we can have good, sustainable business expansion with a high level of environmental protection. We need both in NZ. We need people to be able to provide for themselves and their families with some pride in their achievement. But we cannot afford to let the strained status of our natural environment degrade any further – and we have to claw back some of the damage already done.
