SA Water

12 October 2015

Filling a glass of water from the tap might be a simple act, but delivering our customers a continuous, quality supply of water is much more involved.

SA Water's staff, infrastructure and resources are part of the process from catchment to tap, delivering customers 200 000 megalitres of water through 26,800 kilometres of pipes every year.

Our work begins as soon as water arrives in our catchments. Water sources such as the River Murray, Mount Lofty Ranges reservoirs and groundwater supplies are safeguarded in collaboration with various management authorities.

SA Water conducts regular water testing throughout the network to ensure our water supplies meet required standards. Upgrades to water treatment plants across the state in recent years have also improved supplies.

SA Water satisfies the Safe Drinking Water Act 2011 in providing high quality water supplies that meet all SA Health guidelines.

Our nationally and internationally achievements in water treatment, infrastructure, training and research demonstrate a continued commitment to improving South Australia's drinking water quality.

As well as working together, VACSWIM and SA Water are both promoting water safety in their own distinct ways.
