A municipality in New Zealand called North Shore City has made its water, waste water and storm water network infrastructure available on the web. Not only is the location of the underground infrastructure accessible, but users can query each facility to determine properties like type of pipe, diameter, and when it was installed. Remarkably and what may be the beginning of a trend toward greater openess of utility networks, this service appears to be open, so that residents, utilities, telcos and other interested parties operating in the area are able to access this information.
Where can I find data lising the number of municipal water utilities in New Zealand?

Thanx Geoff for this post. Our GIS viewer had just been redone and the new one even allows users to download Raster and/or Vector data, as well as great improvements to the speed, ease of use, amount of data shared & reporting & maping capabilities.
Here's a link if you're interested in taking a look: http://www.northshorecity.govt.nz/your_neigbourhood/property_information/gis.htm#gis
Also i think the following link might answer the question by G.R.Marriott:
