Climate Adaptation

Weather is fundamental to how we deliver water and wastewater services, and so climate change will always be of strategic and operational importance to us. Already, we are seeing the effects of climate change on the region’s weather, with increasing summer temperatures, wetter winters and more extreme rainfall events. With these trends set to continue, unless we take action there will be increasing impact on the services we provide to the communities we serve.

The climate crisis threatens the ecosystems on which we rely in order to provide reliable, affordable, essential services to customers. Recognising this challenge, we are committed to mitigating our contribution to further climate change and to adapting iteratively to the changes we experience.

Climate Mitigation

There is global scientific agreement that as a result of human activity the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere is increasing and affecting the global climate. Therefore minimizing the GHGs emitted as a result of our operations and taking action to remove emissions from the atmosphere will mitigate climate change.
