Putāruru is a South Waikato timber and dairy town on State Highway 1, built on the bush railways and sawmills that once worked the surrounding forests. Its biggest drawcard today is the Blue Spring on the Te Waihou Walkway, where water filtered for decades through the Mamaku Plateau emerges so pure it supplies a large share of New Zealand's bottled water. The town centre serves the dairy farms and forestry blocks that still drive the local economy.
