Sydney Water

Sydney Water is a statutory State Owned Corporation owned by the New South Wales Government and is Australia's largest water utility. It serves over 5.4 million people and more than 122,000 businesses across Sydney, the Blue Mountains, and the Illawarra regions, covering an area of approximately 12,700 km². The company provides safe drinking water, wastewater treatment, recycled water, and some stormwater services. Sydney Water supplies around 1.5 billion litres of drinking water daily, primarily sourced from a network of dams, with 80% coming from Lake Burragorang. The company also recycles about 100 million litres of water each day, helping to reduce demand on drinking water supplies. Governed by a Board and Executive team, Sydney Water operates under the Sydney Water Act 1994 and focuses on protecting public health, the environment, and maintaining a successful business. Additionally, it engages with customers through programs like "Our Water, Our Voice" to enhance service delivery and experience.
