Urban development is on the rise in New Zealand, which means more houses, more people, and more businesses to accommodate those families moving into the newly developed areas. An increase in population puts a strain on waterways by increasing water pollution. That water pollution comes from our day to day activities like washing clothes, or dishes, cleaning our homes, taking showers, and preparing food. These activities naturally increase as the population rises, creating more water usage and therefore more water pollution. The increased pollution takes a toll on our waterways and intensifies the need for sewage treatment service in NZ.
While it’s easy to understand that these activities are a necessity, it’s hard to ignore the damage they do. Parklink does everything it can to provide quality water treatment service to boost the state of our environment and the waterways on which we rely.
One of the concerns about water pollution is the toll it takes on the waterways such as ponds and lakes we use for recreational activities. Many of these bodies of water are on private land and aren’t always tested before being opened for use, and therefore don’t receive vital treatment. This creates a hazard to those using it and can result in illness.
Ponds May Need Treatment Before Recreational Use
When the public in NZ thinks of sewage water treatment, it’s easy to envision water collected from our homes and businesses in the community. We engage in activities every day that uses valuable water resources and results in sewage. However, there’s another facet to water treatment – that of ponds and small lakes on private land.
Anyone who goes swimming in a small pond or lake on their land is excited when the weather clears up, temperatures rise, and it’s time to break out the bathing suit. It’s a much-loved pastime, but do you ever worry about the quality of the water that you love? It’s hard to imagine something that would ruin your enjoyment of a refreshing swim in that quaint pond out back. At least it’s hard to imagine until you end up with swimmer’s ear or an unsightly itchy irritating rash. Swimmer’s itch is the result of waterfowl introducing the larvae of flatworms into your pond or lake. Swimmer’s ear and swimmer’s itch, and other potential illnesses can be reduced or eliminated by proper treatment of your pond or lake water.
Unfortunately, many problems aren’t noticed until they’ve been around for a while. This makes treatment more difficult and increases the likelihood of disease or illness. Have your pond or lake tested before it is used for recreational purposes and begin needed sewage treatment in NZ.
