SA Water is a successful, modern water utility that is wholly owned by the Government of South Australia. We employ more than 1,400 South Australians across a broad range of disciplines who operate over $14 billion of assets. We deliver essential water and sewerage services to more than 1.7 million South Australians.
We operate in a geographically and climatically diverse service area, with sites and locations from Ceduna through to Port Augusta, the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands, across to the Riverland and down to Mount Gambier, and most places in between.
Our strength and expertise has been shaped throughout our history by many challenges – the driest state, vast distances, prolonged drought conditions and the quality and scarcity of our source water.
We interact with a large number of stakeholders and customers, both internal and external, which shape our operating environment. The quality of our products and services has a broad impact, from an immediate contact with our business and residential customers to a state-wide influence on the growth and prosperity of South Australia.
The importance of our products and services means that we have several independent regulators to make sure that we comply with major pieces of legislation and obligations. We have several management systems in place, such as the Drinking Water Management System (DWQMS), Environmental Management System (EMS) and Safety Management System, to manage risk, maintain compliance and improve business efficiency.
