Introduction
Purpose of the guidelines
A wide range of gastrointestinal diseases can be caused by ingestion of food or drink that is contaminated by pathogenic micro-organisms or by toxic chemicals. Control of these is an important feature of public health. This is done by regulating food safety, administered by the Ministry of Primary Industries and regulating safety of community drinking-water supplies, administered by the Ministry of Health.
The purpose of these Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality Management for New Zealand is to provide information on the tools used by the Ministry of Health to promote the provision, by suppliers, of drinking-water that is safe to drink. The development of these tools commenced in 1993. This introduction to the Guidelines puts the Ministry’s tools in their historical context.
