Severe weather conditions may impact the network

Due to severe weather conditions forecasted from today, 30 April until Friday 2 May, there may be impacts on the network, 

Heavy rain increases the chance of excess stormwater entering the wastewater network, which it doesn’t have capacity for. This means there is a higher risk of wastewater overflows during wet weather events or emergencies such as major power cuts.

Our operations team are checking known risk areas and working to ensure that the stormwater network will be running as smoothly as possible.

Our asset management approach

We are currently managing more than $7b of assets that deliver essential services for our councils and communities.

The three waters assets are uniquely challenging to manage. They are mainly located underground; many are now near or past the end of their economic lives; and the ground they are located in is subject to earthquakes and other natural hazards.

We are maturing our approach to asset management as we go and as we continue to develop a deeper understanding of the state and condition of the assets, the extent of which also relies on the level of funding we are allocated for these activities.
