If your livelihood depends on water takes under an ECan resource consent, we handle the metering, verification, and reporting, so you can focus on farming.
ECan manages water takes in Canterbury under a detailed framework of resource consent conditions. Every irrigation farmer, dairy operation, and horticulture grower taking surface water or groundwater must measure their takes accurately, maintain that accuracy through regular verification, and report their data in the format and frequency their consent requires.
The regulations are not onerous when you have the right partner managing them. NZ Flow Group works with irrigation consent holders throughout Canterbury, from small individual bores to large-scale irrigation schemes, to keep meters accurate, schedules current, and records complete.
Note: your exact obligations depend on your individual consent conditions. We can review your consent and tell you precisely what's required.
Blue Tick accreditation from Irrigation New Zealand means our verification process meets the standard required for Canterbury irrigation consent compliance. When NZ Flow Group issues a verification certificate, ECan accepts it.
