Water Supply

At Hunter Water, we supply water to over half-a-million people from six local government areas - Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Cessnock, Port Stephens and Dungog.  Over 200,000 properties are connected to our water supply network.

Bulk water is supplied to small parts of Singleton and the Great Lakes area. We also have the capacity to supply up to 35 megalitres per day to the Central Coast.
