About
Central Plains Water Limited (CPWL) supplies sustainable water that our shareholders use to support agriculture, cropping and seed production, which in turn drives growth that benefits our region, people and the environment.
We operate the largest irrigation system in the South Island, Aotearoa New Zealand. Our irrigation network currently supplies water to 45,000 hectares of Canterbury farmland.
Our irrigation scheme increased the reliability of water flowing to the food-producing farms of the Canterbury Plains. Reliable water not only extends the growing season but enables CPWL shareholder farmers to grow more food and increase the types of crops and animals that they farm.
We work hard to be excellent environmental stewards of the Waimakariri and Rakaia rivers that supply the irrigation scheme, monitoring water take every 15 minutes of every day. We transparently report our results and ensure we comply with all resource consents.
Working closely with local district and city councils, our farmers adhere to stringent environmental standards and take a long-term, multigenerational approach to water management.
CPWL is a limited liability company operating under a co- operative philosophy. In 2024, the scheme directly and indirectly contributed a total of $364 million to Canterbury's GDP, generated 2045 jobs for the Canterbury region, and supported many local community projects.
