Waimate District Council were looking for a faster, easier and more advanced way to manage all of their consents and compliance reporting for their water. They chose to go with ID and in this video WDC Three Waters Systems Lead, George Ingham talks all about how well that went and how great the results are.
Waimate District Council Enhances Compliance Efficiency with Lutra ID
Waimate District Council needed a reliable and efficient system to manage its growing compliance and reporting obligations. Manual processes and fragmented data sources made it difficult to maintain accuracy, consistency, and timeliness—especially when reporting to regulatory bodies like Taumata Arowai.
To streamline compliance workflows and improve data quality, the council implemented Lutra ID, a digital platform designed to support water infrastructure monitoring, reporting, and regulatory compliance.
Implementation & Use
Field Data Collection: Lutra ID is used by field teams to complete compliance forms digitally, replacing paper-based processes.
Automated Reporting: Data collected in the field feeds directly into batch reports and dashboards, which are submitted to Taumata Arowai.
End-to-End Compliance Management: From project inception to ongoing operations, Lutra ID supports the full compliance lifecycle.
Results
- Ease of Use: Has significantly supported the council’s compliance journey.
“I think it's been super easy to use, which has helped our journey massively.”
— George Ingham, Three Water Systems Lead
Exceptional Support: The Lutra team has provided consistent, responsive support throughout implementation and beyond.
“Support has been phenomenal.”
— George Ingham, Three Water Systems Lead
- Data Quality & Efficiency: The platform has enabled the council to maintain clean, efficient data—critical for accurate reporting and decision-making.
“It’s been the best system I’ve used throughout my career.”
— George, Three Water Systems Lead
