What We Do
At Watercare we’re proud to provide a lifeline service to the people of Auckland, while protecting the environment for future generations.
Every day we provide the highest quality drinking water to 1.7 million Aucklanders, and take it away again once it’s been used in the sink or flushed down the loo. Without using chemicals, we treat wastewater to a very high standard and safely return it to the environment.
We also plan for new and upgraded infrastructure far into the future to ensure we can meet the needs of our fast-growing city.
We operate assets worth more than $9 billion – but it’s our people who are our most valuable assets.
Our staff are passionate, motivated and trustworthy people who are the leaders in their fields. They’re not afraid of a challenge and are constantly looking for new ways of improving our processes and the service we offer our customers.
