Supplying potable - or “fit to drink” - water in South Australia is a challenging task.
Faced with a widely dispersed population in one of the driest inhabited places on Earth, SA Water has had to develop significant expertise in the management and transportation of water over vast distances.
For us, the challenges involve not just transporting, filtering and disinfecting the water from our rivers, reservoirs and other supplies, but in managing these vital resources in an environmentally sustainable manner.
