The Challenge

Timaru District Council required a reliable, long-term ozone disinfection solution for their municipal water supply. The system needed to operate continuously without interruption, meet all New Zealand drinking water standards, and deliver a lower lifecycle cost than alternative treatment methods.

Our Solution

Ozone Technologies installed a high-capacity ozone water treatment system with robust design principles, redundant critical components, integrated monitoring and alarming, and a comprehensive maintenance programme. The system was designed for decades of continuous operation with minimal intervention.

Results

Zero downtime since installation in 1999
Over 25 years of continuous, uninterrupted operation
Complete regulatory compliance with NZ drinking water standards
Exceptional system reliability — the longest-running ozone system in NZ
Lower lifecycle costs than chlorine or UV alternatives
Consistent water quality for the entire Timaru community

"The ozone system has been an outstanding investment for our community. Over 25 years of continuous operation with zero downtime speaks for itself."
