SA Water provides water and wastewater infrastructure services to 18 indigenous communities in the State.

These communities are located on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY), Maralinga Tjarutja (MT) and Aboriginal Lands Trust (ALT) Lands.

SA Water manages water and wastewater systems including scheduled services and water quality monitoring, emergency response to related incidents and new consumer connections. The program has addressed the requirement to formalise and systematically implement a verifiable management framework for these communities to work towards the requirements of the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (ADWG).

Water quality testing is conducted regularly for all major Indigenous communities in South Australia, with water samples collected every three months. These samples are tested at laboratories in Adelaide and Marla.

SA Water has also been engaged as the project manager for a number of capital works improvement projects funded by the Federal Government. Many projects have been successfully completed to date, with others planned or underway.

To keep you informed of our progress, SA Water has produced a publication called Water for Remote Areas.
