What we do
Council collects, treats and disposes of wastewater from residential, commercial and industrial
properties within designated drainage areas of the District, safeguarding the environment and
protecting public health. We provide sufficient capacity to serve communities within current
designated drainage areas of the District, on a continuous basis, and we treat and dispose of
wastewater in an environmentally responsible way, meeting WRC consent conditions, including odour
