Water for life

Water is essential to every aspect of our lives. But our water supply faces big challenges.

The future of the South East is one of more people with less water to go around. Solving these challenges means working closely with our customers, communities and partners to create a resilient water future for the South East.

Your life, powered by water

We rely on water for everything we eat and drink, for washing ourselves and our clothes, and to help create the energy we need for heat and light. It’s also essential to the products we enjoy, and the rivers, fields, forests and beaches that we love.

Without water, life as we know it would be impossible. Yet our region faces a future of more people and less water. Our population is growing fast, and climate change is bringing greater risk of both drought and flooding. We can only solve these challenges if we work closely with our customers, communities and partners. 

A resilient water future

We have thought long and hard about the kind of company we want to be. Based on conversations with our customers, employees and stakeholders we have redefined our purpose: to provide water for life to enhance health and wellbeing, protect and improve the environment and sustain the economy.

We have agreed three values that underpin everything we do: succeeding together, doing the right thing and always improving. Living these values and working together with our communities will help us achieve a resilient water future for the South East.
