Our major infrastructure and environmental projects

Renewable Energy Project

We’re investing more than $15 million to install renewable energy systems at treatment plants and pump stations across our network.

Belmont Water Mains

We are building two new water mains to distribute the treated water from the Belmont Desalination Plant to our customers and network.

Munibung Creek Rehabilitation

We're rehabilitating the section of Munibung Creek between Pendlebury Road and 75 Lachlan Road to stabilise the creek bank and improve the environment.

CTGM Replacement

We’re planning for the replacement of the Chichester Trunk Gravity Main (CTGM) between the Brookfield Tunnel and Burmi Creek, and at the Bandon Grove Williams River Crossing.

Digital Metering Program

We're carrying out a pilot program to test the use of digital water meters to help us better identify leaks in our water network.

Pressure managed areas

Hunter Water is rolling out a water pressure management program in parts of our network to help reduce leaks, bursts and interruptions.

Have your say

Informed decisions guide how we respond

Understanding what our community values will inform our decisions around supply (where we get water from) and demand (how we use the water we have) options, and guide how we respond to drought.

Understanding our drought response

A drought response desalination plant at Belmont is our insurance policy if the Lower Hunter reaches critical water storage levels in severe drought conditions.
