Water Services - Water Supply

North Shore City Council supplies water for household and commercial use to 73,000 customers throughout the city. All receive A-grade drinking water.

Each year we purchase around 20 million kilolitres of treated water from bulk regional supplier Watercare Services. That's enough to fill 9000 Olympic swimming pools.

This water is collected and transported from catchments in the Waitakere and Hunua Ranges and from the Waikato River near Tuakau.

Watercare Services operates a distribution network for the Auckland Region, which consists of dams, pipes, filter stations, pumping stations and storage reservoirs.
