Water quality
Seqwater is committed to providing a safe, high-quality water supply for the region. Water quality starts at the source – our catchments. We work in partnership with our neighbours, catchment land owners and the broader community to improve catchment health and water quality.
Seqwater has a team of dedicated professionals that ensure compliance with our water quality and environmental obligations. Extensive monitoring is a core component of responsible catchment, storage and supply management and provides assurance the region’s drinking water meets the stringent standards set out in the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines.
Taste and Odour
Are you noticing changes in the taste or smell of your drinking water? This could be due to increased levels of organic compounds called MIB or Geosmin in the raw water supply.
Water Quality Reporting
We routinely monitor the regions treated water supplies and publicly report on the quality of our bulk drinking water every month, and weekly for taste and odour.
PFAS
Like any other risk to our drinking water supply, Seqwater's water quality experts manage the risk of PFAS in our region’s drinking water to ensure it meets Australian standards.
