Drinking water supplied by us is from natural surface and groundwater water sources, making it clean, safe and beneficial for health, hygiene and the wellbeing of our community. - Protected from impurities
Water is disinfected with chlorine before it enters the system so that any disease-causing microorganisms are destroyed. - Carefully monitored and tested
We have a comprehensive water quality monitoring program in place, with sampling and analysis routinely undertaken by a National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) accredited lab at raw water sources, water treatment plants and from within our distribution system. - Good for your teeth
