Hobart Water is Tasmania’s largest supplier of drinking water for use in homes and businesses. We collect, treat, store and supply bulk drinking water to the councils in Greater Hobart. The organisation is owned by eight councils, which are also its main customers.

Hobart Water has been a proud sponsor of the Falls Festival since the early days. By providing free drinking water at the site Hobart Water believes that it is offering a vital community service for event patrons. This also gives us the opportunity to reach and educate a large section of the population with water conservation and management messages.

The organisation has an over-arching Environmental Policy which outlines the organisation's commitment to the environment. The main points in the policy state that Hobart Water will:

- Comply with relevant statutory and agreed environmental requirements,
operate in a manner that minimises pollution and environmental impacts of our operations and activities,

- Continually improve environmental management through the operation of an Environmental Management System, and

- Involve customers, suppliers, contractors, stakeholders and the community in planning projects and activities that may have environmental impact to minimise risk.

In addition to this, Hobart Water has several catchment management policies and will launch a Climate Change policy in 2009. To read more about Hobart Water’s environmental policies please click here.
