A safe supply of water is essential for the health and wellbeing of the community. We look after the wells, pumps and pipes that deliver it to you every day.

In the next 30 years we need to keep protecting our drinking water supply by upgrading and renewing infrastructure and extending the network to supply water to new developments.

Currently we have a target of 25% for our leak rate across the city – we’re proposing to reduce this to 20% by 2030 and 15% by 2034.

We also need to comply with regulatory requirements, and factor in the Government’s Local Water Done Well policy.

We propose spending $873 million over the next 10 years, including:

Reticulation renewal programme – $493 million

New and upgraded pump stations programme – $182 million

New chlorination equipment and controls – $51 million
