We are proud to provide a sustainable, affordable, clean and safe water supply and to manage and treat the waste water returned to us in a way that protects the environment.

Wastewater management

We aim to reduce all pollution incidents to zero.

We protect or improve the water environment through the collection and treatment of sewage and other effluents. When releasing treated water back into the environment, it is policy, and practice, to undertake monitoring to ensure that we operate within our consents and fulfil our remit to protect the water environment
