Service delivery hub

By operating and maintaining a vast network of treatment plants, reservoirs, pumps and pipes, we ensure our customers receive safe, high quality drinking water. Water is an essential part of life, so maintaining and upgrading Auckland's water assets is crucial. We're constantly planning and building new infrastructure to address the challenges presented by climate change and population growth. This is all part of our long-term plan to safeguard our water supply for generations to come.
