SA Water
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SA Water was established by the proclamation of the South Australian Water Corporation Act 1994 on 1 July 1995. Its predecessor was known as Engineering and Water Supply Department (E&WS). E&WS evolved from the Waterworks and Drainage Commission, which was established in 1856.[1]
SA Water is owned by the Government of South Australia and owns assets of more than A$13Bn including:
- More than 26,000 km of water mains[2]
- More than 8 600 km of sewer mains
- 30 water treatment plants[3]
- 24 wastewater treatment plants[4]
- More than 16 reservoirs with a total capacity of almost 200,000 megalitres[5]
SA Water is also involved in desalination plants at Penneshaw[6] and Port Stanvac[7]
SA Water moved into SA Water House in Victoria Square, Adelaide, in 2008.
