Our Deeper Dive series explores the behind the scenes of TasWater to learn how our incredible team of scientists, engineers and field experts capture, store, and treat 179 million litres of drinking water every day.

From a simple demonstration on how we treat the water delivered to customers, to the technology used to find leaks, dive into this inside look at our operations. You'll even get to meet the people whose job it is to make sure the water is not just safe to drink, but also tastes nice. 

Our science

We rely on data and our team of scientific experts to help keep our people and our environment healthy. Poor water quality could have big impacts on a population’s health. And the quality of sewage treatment affects the environment and the liveability of our land. How do you stay on top of issues like these? Science!

Our environment

Our team plays a critical role in keeping Tasmanians and our environment healthy. Simple things like where we live, work and play all have an impact. Then throw in climate change and there’s even more science and solutions required to get water and sewage management right, now and into the future. So how do you meet those challenges? Environmental science holds the key!

Our engineering

Too much rain, not enough rain. Growing populations, changing human behaviours. Sensitive environments and the health of Tasmanians. These are just some of the many challenges that our team faces from day to day while they deliver water and sewage services to Tasmanians. So how do you meet those challenges? A big part of it is engineering!
