Water supply and dams

A clean, sustainable water supply is vital for our health and one of the most important issues facing the region. The provision of a safe and secure water supply is one of the main responsibilities of council, as is the treatment of wastewater to environmentally safe standards.

Along with council, the community is also responsible for a dependable water supply by ensuring water is used wisely and effectively. This minimises excessive water use and the environmental impacts of water shortages, as well as postponing the need for investment in further water supply infrastructure.

The responsibility to provide a safe and secure water supply is supported by consistent management of water demand, including:

• Water use education
• Business engagement
• Statutory measures
• Sustainable water restrictions.
