Integrated approach

The Water Grid is not just a network of pipelines and assets; it is an integrated approach to maximising our water resources. It increases the diversity of water supply by coordinating the use of all major South East Queensland water supply sources.

Connecting the region’s major water sources, water treatment plants and bulk water transport networks through the Water Grid allows the Water Grid Manager to coordinate the delivery of urban and industrial water supplies across South East Queensland.

The Queensland Water Commission's Water for today, water for tomorrow – South East Queensland Water Strategy draft 2008 includes a set of ‘level of service’ objectives for supplies from the Water Grid.

The level of service objectives for the region is facilitated through the System Operating Plan, which provides a set of rules for us to operate the Water Grid.
