Gold Coast Water

Allconnex Water is the water and wastewater business for the Gold Coast, Logan and Redland districts. It was established on 1 July 2010 under the Queensland State Government’s South East Queensland (SEQ) Water Reform. The reform was initiated to improve the delivery of water services in SEQ and to make this rapidly growing region drought resilient.

The Gold Coast, Logan and Redland councils own the business. Its earnings are therefore invested back into these districts through the three councils. Managing water and wastewater is Allconnex’s single focus. The business provides more than 900,000 consumers with water services. These services were previously provided by the local councils.

Allconnex Water's services include:

  • Purchasing water from the State Government managed SEQ Water Grid and delivering this water to residents and businesses.
  • Collecting, treating and disposing of wastewater.
  • Building new infrastructure.
  • Managing and maintaining infrastructure and assets, including water supply mains and wastewater networks.
  • Operating water and wastewater pumping stations.
  • Providing a specialised recycled water service to businesses.

Famous quotes containing the words gold, coast and/or water:

    I have seen a little of it. I know that it is very malleable, but not so malleable as wit. A grain of gold will gild a great surface, but not so much as a grain of wisdom.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Beyond this island bound
    By a thin sea of flesh
    And a bone coast ...
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
