Water Industry Operations Group of New Zealand

The Water Industry Operations Group of New Zealand (WIOG) is a national "not-for-profit" Incorporation formed in 2006 by a group of dedicated water & wastewater operations professionals.

Our goals and objectives are simple…to provide and support members with the opportunities to enhance their knowledge and experience and to promote the water industry "source to discharge" as a whole in order to raise public awareness.

2020 Conference - Postponed!!

It is with heavy heart that your committee has had to make the hard decision to postpone the WIOG conference until 2021 due to the threat of the corona virus pandemic.

The 2021 conference will now be held at the Napier Conference Centre, 26 - 28 May.

Thanks all for your support and please look after yourself and your families.

By attending industry events, workshops and conferences we are able to share our experiences and build relationships with other industry professionals.
Networking is much more productive and enjoyable when you have a clear goal in mind.

We gain experience from the knowledge we receive when networking, from presenting papers at conferences; talking about your latest work innovation at workshops; by participating in the operator competitions; and by winning one of WIOG’s prestigious awards.

WIOG and our members are actively participating in industry related topics where we can share our knowledge and experience. Our committee are also members on other stakeholder working groups and committees where we represent the operations sector.

Operations professionals are hardworking and very passionate breed of people who have a lot of knowledge and experience to share. Promoting our industry is achieved in many ways including industry and community events, water campaigns and media channels.
