A suite of Technical Governance documents has been developed to support the design, construction, operation and maintenance of SA Water’s $6 billion infrastructure portfolio. Further detail regarding the creation and update of these documents can be found in SA Water Technical Guideline TG 0103 – Approach to Technical Governance.
Definitions and descriptions of SA Water’s Technical Governance can be found in SA Water Technical Guideline TG 0103 – Approach to Technical Governance.
SA Water has established a Dispensation Procedure (V6.0) for managing SA Water's technical requirements. Applicants should familiarise themselves with the procedure and use the request form to submit applications for consideration.
SA Water’s dispensation process will be closed for the Christmas/New Year break from the 18th of December 2026, and will re-open on the 4th of January 2027. Submissions made during the closure period will be actioned when the process re-opens in 2027.
