Water Information New Zealand (WINZ) Database

WINZ Today

winz 5 mainThe WINZ database is managed and further developed by ESR for the Ministry of Health. It is used extensively by district health boards and water suppliers throughout New Zealand.

Currently a WINZ 5 desktop version (Microsoft Access), and a WINZ 6 web version exist. In 2009, most users need WINZ 5, but functionality will progressively move to WINZ 6 over the next few years. (more about WINZ)

This page aims to inform users of WINZ 5 of current version details, ESR and MoH contacts, and various items of relevance to WINZ operation.

Register of Community Drinking-Water Supplies in New Zealand

This Register is no longer printed annually, therefore changes can be submitted by Drinking Water Assessors at any time. These will be updated in the National WINZ database, distributed to relevant parties on request, and shown on this web site, which is updated weekly.

If you find incorrect supply data in WINZ or in the Register of Community Drinking-Water Supplies in New Zealand, please tell us.

Downloads to keep your WINZ current

WINZ 5 contains many lookup tables for organisations, determinands, MoH Recognised Tests, etc. Download the latest copy of these tables directly from the Download area on this website.

NOTE: Because the supplies in your copy of WINZ are specific to your responsibilities, contact ESR through the usual channels to get a supply set update. Supplies are not included in the website download.

Discussions and more water-related information

Discussions about WINZ and drinking-water issues are available to health protection officers and local authorities on the Ministry of Health discussion pages, or email your comments to one of the MoH or ESR Contacts directly.

Similarly, formal drinking-water documents are made available, usually as PDF files, on the MoH site, but you can go directly to specific documents from our formal documents link page.
