Customer education
Water is a valuable resource; it is essential for life and is recycled continually. Humans directly impact the quality and quantity of water available every single day.
- Have you ever wondered why water is treated?
- Do you know where your local drinking water catchment is?
- How is sewage treated?
- What has public health got to do with treated water?
- How can you make a difference in conserving water and protecting the environment?
- What is the urban water cycle?
Answers to those questions and many others can be provided through TasWater's customer education programs.

Teacher resources
To allow a greater focus on community event attendance TasWater no longer offers school visits, instead we offer lesson plans on the following topics:
- The natural and urban water cycles
- Environmental impacts on water
- Making water safe to drink
- Conserving water
- Water for health
- Where sewage comes from
- How sewage is treated
The Australian Water Association also has heaps of resources available to help you in the classroom.
