Drinking Water Testing

The Drinking Water Standards for New Zealand are the government issued regulatory requirements for the consumption of drinking water. Drinking water quality will vary greatly depending on rainfall run-off and the land use of the surrounding catchment. It is always advisable to check whether your drinking water meets the requirements of the Water Services (Drinking Water Standards for New Zealand) Regulations 2022. This is especially important as water quality is largely impacted by the local environment and can be impacted by contaminants such as nitrates and E. coli. We are an IANZ accredited Drinking Water laboratory allowing us to perform testing to meet the requirements of the Drinking Water Quality Assurance Rules 2022.

Introducing Murray Eichler - Senior Lab Technician

"I’ve been with Hill Labs for almost 24 years now, ever since I joined as a lab technician in the environmental organics section back in July 2000. My journey to Hill Labs was influenced by my upbringing on a dairy farm and my interest in science. After completing a science course at Wintec, I found my way to Hill Labs and I’ve stayed here all this time thanks mainly to the variety of the work that we get to do."

Introducing Dana Wildeboer - HR Support and Recruitment Advisor

“I started with Hill Labs 29 years ago back in 1995 when I was looking for my first job out of high school. What attracted me to the company was their reputation, they were a small but well known local business in Cambridge. Over the years I’ve performed a variety of business support roles – Receptionist, Office Manager, Induction Officer, Client Services Coordinator, HR Administrator and now my current role which is part time in the Human Resources team as Hill Labs’ HR Support and Recruitment Advisor."

Introducing Graham Corban - Client Service Manager for Key Accounts

“Come October this year, I’ve been with Hill Labs for 30 years. Personally, there are so many stand out moments during my career but one of the most significant has been the opportunity to help grow the organics section in the lab, being part of the clean-up of the old Fruitgrowers’ Chemical Company DDT plant in Mapua, and helping to grow the methamphetamine testing service which grew from nothing to being a very significant contributor to our business at one stage."
