Seqwater provides bulk water storage and treatment services to the South East Queensland (SEQ) Water Grid.
Seqwater works with a number of other water entities as part of the SEQ Water Grid - designed to interconnect new and existing water sources across the region and secure our water supply now and for the future.
The formation of Seqwater as part of the Government’s reform of water supply arrangements in South East Queensland created an opportunity to take an integrated approach to catchment-sourced water management across the region. This approach will help ensure the long-term security and sustainability of our region’s catchment-based water supply.
We own, manage and operate physical assets with an estimated value of over $1.8 billion.
Seqwater has responsibility for managing 25 dams and 47 weirs across the south east Queensland, including the Wivenhoe, Somerset and North Pine Dams, Hinze Dam on the Gold Coast and Baroon Pocket Dam on the Sunshine Coast.
We also operate 46 water treatment plants and 14 groundwater bore fields.
Seqwater provides essential flood monitoring services, catchment management services for landholders, water quality research and investigation, recreation services, and irrigation services to around 1,000 rural customers in five water supply schemes.
In addition, we are responsible for a range of new water infrastructure projects and initiatives, including an Advanced Water Treatment Plant on Ewen Maddock Dam on the Sunshine Coast, raising the dam wall to increase the capacity of the Hinze Dam on the Gold Coast, and the fluoridation of the region’s water treatment plants.
We maintain relationships with government agencies, community groups, research organisations, landholders and other entities.
