The water industry delivers the essential services of supplying safe and sustainable drinking water to our communities and ensuring that wastewater is treated and appropriately recycled and reused or discharged safely back into the environment where that is not feasible.
Workers play a key role in protecting the health and safety of their communities and the environment, and there are more than 6,000 people in Queensland working directly in the water industry plus many more in support industries including construction. Water and sewerage services are mostly delivered by publicly owned service providers, with the majority being local government.
On this website you can hear from Queensland water industry workers talk about their careers and why they love working in an industry that supports public health and has a positive impact on the environment.
