Hawke's Bay Regional Council's groundwater monitoring network consists of some 43 wells across the Hawke's Bay region. Water Quality is sampled quarterly for a range of parameters.

If you have concerns about specific, rural domestic supplies from bores (eg. bad smell, taste, appearance), get a sample tested by a laboratory (listed under Laboratories in the Yellow Pages).
