A brief history
Lotus Spa Water began in 1939, when the current well was driven releasing our pure artesian water. Originally supplying water to the first homestead on the property which was built in 1939, the water was also used for the grounds and water wheel.
The artesian well flows freely with a head of approximately 1.5 m above the ground unpumped and has never altered its flow since the Laing’s brought the property in 1987. The old ram pump still exists close to the well head that was used to pump water up to the old residence and various storage tanks.
​
In 2010, Duncan Laing began supplying water to the community, which during the 2010 (and subsequent earthquakes) was an essential water supply for the community. With the chlorination of the public water supply in Christchurch in 2018, the community use increased significantly, which resulted in the upgrading of the water system in July 2018 to include a new well head and cover, water pump and water filters to enable the UV System to operate.
The water is released from the ground at 13.5°C, and undergoes regular testing for E.coli and full water tests. We are now registered in the National Programme for food safety – Level 3 and have recently been audited by IANZ. View the MPI Food Standards Audit Report 20 March 2024. We regularly maintain the water operating system, view the latest Certificate of Compliance August 2023.
We have been classified as an essential service for humans and animals.
