State Water is NSW’s rural bulk water delivery corporation, annually delivering more than 5,500GL of water to regional NSW on average, along 7,000km of rivers. In accordance with water sharing plans, we also deliver about 9,000GL of water for the environment.

 

We manage and operate 20 dams and more than 280 weirs and regulators to deliver water for town water supplies, industry, irrigation, stock and domestic use, riparian and environmental flows.

 

We monitor water usage, manage customer accounts, bill and collect bulk water charges.

 

Our local Customer Service Officers work directly with water users in managing water accounts and supporting them to improve water delivery efficiency.

 

We have a workforce of about 350 people who operate from 43 offices throughout NSW and work closely with water users and Customer Service Committees to set asset management priorities and improve water delivery efficiencies in regulated river valleys.

 

The Fish River Water Supply scheme delivers treated water supplies as well as raw water in the Oberon and Lithgow areas to towns and the power industry.
