Drinkingwater Website Updated and Extended

This website has today been updated to a new look and feel, combined with greater functionality.

Improvements include:

New Register of Water Carriers section. See who is now registered in each locality.
New DWAP section, including contact details for TAP Facilitators.
Supply compliance information is for 2005, but will be updated to the 2006-07 financial year once the data is made public.
New Priority 2 determinands section (under Supplies) which is updated weekly. See all supplies for each P2 in New Zealand. Is also a way of seeing all fluoridated zones in NZ.
Rewritten/new background introductions to the Standards, the Grading, DWAP, the Act, WINZ changes, etc.
See all of the larger supplies (10,000+ population) and their compliance on one scrolling web page.
(Sources are not shown so the page is not excessively long.)
Links to MoH documents have been subdivided into a main page with just key documents, and a second page with those and all others.
A link to the latest revision of the DWSNZ 2005, which was released to the web in October 2008.
