What we do

We supply Auckland’s people with safe drinking water and reliable wastewater services while looking after waterways and the environment.

Safe and reliable water and wastewater services

We ensure a reliable water supply by operating an extensive network of treatment plants, reservoirs, pumps, and pipes. Our goal is to deliver clean and healthy water to you. We also collect and treat wastewater to prevent environmental pollution and protect public health.

To maintain and improve Auckland’s water infrastructure, we continuously plan and build new assets, considering challenges posed by climate change and population growth. Collaborating with you to use water efficiently is part of our long-term strategy to secure water supply for future generations.
