I'm wondering if water can be drunk straight from the tap. Or will it need to be boiled or filtered? (We'll be in the North Island, in an urban area).

No probs at all Spooky
I drink it all the time and I haven't had any bad effects.
Hi. On the Kapiti Coast, water supplies must have been running low earlier this year, becuase there was a notice in the paper about it changing to Bore Water (from what I don't know!). Now while Bore Water is supposed to be safe to drink, it furred up our kettle instantly, and we all started getting stomach upsets and feeling generally unwell. As a precaution, we now routinely buy bottled water for drinking.

OH works in the labs testing drinking water quality. She drinks the water straight from the tap so cannot be that bad. There can be problems with the water from pivate supplies though, and some areas can have a high nitrogen level but not harmful levels.
That's great news. Saves $$ on gas (no need to boil drinking water) and water filters! Yay!
We're in a Porirua suburb and drink the tap water. No problems here.
Our tap water here is beautiful... however, just down the road in another township their water supply is chlorinated, you can smell it when they give you free water at the cafes.
The water in our area is UV'd, whatever that means!
Lovely water in Cambridge.
