Water treatment and supply

Carrying water from the source to your tap, our vast networks include more than 9,000 kilometres of pipes

Each day we supply around 400 million litres of top-quality drinking water to the people of Auckland. The water is drawn from dams, rivers and aquifers. Before it reaches you, we remove suspended solids, dirt particles and harmful micro-organisms.

Water pressure and flow

In normal conditions we will provide residents with:

  • water pressure of at least 200 kPa
  • a water flow rate of at least 25 litres per minute (based on 15mm residential water meter). Click here to learn more.
