Much nicer day today at the Canterbury Royal A&P Show. Come down and enjoy the sun, ask us questions about servicing your wastewater system and go into the draw for a prize hamper just for talking to us!

A crappy day today for the A&P Show but we're here until Saturday. Site E14 by the classic cars, come and say Hi.

A big thank you to Gary for sharing positive feedback about Ryan our Water Technician. It's always appreciated when one of our customers recognizes the hard work of one of our amazing team
members.

🥳 We’ve got some news worth tooting our horn about…
Our team has just scored 97% with SiteWise (gold level!) and a whopping 80% - 5 Stars - with Impac Prequal for Health & Safety.
Obviously we're pretty stoked with those results, mainly because they reflect the hard mahi our crew puts in every day to keep each other, our clients, and our communities safe.
Health & Safety might not always sound exciting, but to us it means our people go home safe at the end of the day - and that’s something we want to celebrate. 🙌

Welcoming EWS clients to the HydroVac Family
We’re excited to share some big news from the team at HydroVac Canterbury — as of April 1, we’ve officially taken over the operations of Environmental Water Services (EWS).

This is a proud moment for us. HydroVac is a family-owned and operated Kiwi business, and we’ve been supporting communities across Canterbury with reliable, responsive wastewater solutions for years. Bringing EWS under the HydroVac name means we can continue to grow while delivering the same quality of service you
know and trust.

What does this mean for existing EWS customers? You’ll now see the HydroVac name instead of EWS, but rest assured — the service remains the same, and Ryan is still on board as part of our team. You’ll continue to receive the dependable, local service you’re used to, now backed by HydroVac’s wider resources and 24/7 support network.

If you’ve worked with EWS in the past and have questions or believe there may be any outstanding service or repairs, we encourage you to give us a call — we’re here to help. To help us keep in touch more efficiently, we’re asking existing customers to give us a quick call to confirm or update your contact information, especially your
email address. That way, you’ll be the first to know about upcoming services, reminders, or any changes.

Whether you’re a long-time EWS client or new to HydroVac, we’re here to provide expert, friendly service — just as we always have. You can reach us any time, day or night, on 03 366 9187.
