Is it safe to drink the water in NZ? |
I'm flying in from LA. And I'll be staying in a little town on the West Coast. Should I drink bottled water and stay away from tap?

To Johno - thanks for the advice. I hadn't realized that others were paying attention to the voting. All answers have been helpful; hope I wasn't rude. |

NZ is a highly developed country and the water is completely 100% safe to drink from the tap. We are actually one of the cleanest and greenest countrys in the world and are renowned for our clean air and beautiful environment.
all the water from taps has either been treated at the water plants or if you are off the beaten track you will find that the water from the taps is probably from tanks that capture rain water, or from natural underground springs.
In fact you may find that as NZ is no where near as polluted as most other countries that the water actually tastes nicer and crisper in NZ. |

Domestic water in New Zealand is safe to drink. If you are travelling to the West Coast, presumably you will be spending some time outside on trails and in the bush. In these places water supplies will indicate whether they are suitable for drinking or not.
Side note:
I notice you have asked a number of travel questions mostly related to New Zealand. However, you do not return to award a best answer, but rather leave everything for the voters to decide. If people make the effort to answer your questions you should pay them the courtesy of choosing a best answer, otherwise people may simply stop answering your questions. |

It is safe to drink water in the big cities like Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington etc. But I am not too sure about the small town. |

Water is pretty safe from all cities and most towns, may pay to boil water first in small rural areas or take bottled water. You are pretty safe in Greymouth and Hokitika and Westport. I drunk water straight from the tap there. No worries. |
