SA Water, officially the South Australian Water Corporation, is the main water utility serving South Australia. It handles the sourcing, treatment, distribution of drinking water and the collection and treatment of wastewater for residential, commercial and industrial customers across the state.
The corporation manages an extensive infrastructure network including pipelines, treatment plants, reservoirs and pumping stations. It draws water primarily from the River Murray and local sources, treating it to national standards. SA Water also undertakes infrastructure maintenance and upgrades, such as valve replacements and bypass systems on major pipelines, to improve reliability and reduce service disruptions.
Wholly owned by the Government of South Australia, it operates as a statutory corporation focused on sustainable resource management and environmental compliance. The utility serves more than 1.7 million people and plays a central role in the state's water security, including operation of key assets like the Tailem Bend–Keith pipeline commissioned in 1969.
In the Australian water sector, SA Water ranks among the major state-based utilities, contributing to industry standards for infrastructure resilience and water conservation through its operational and project activities.
