Water performance reports
Water and sewerage services play an important role in our health and wellbeing.
These services are regulated by several departments, including the:
- Department of Resources
- Department of Health
- Department of Local Government, Racing and Multicultural Affairs
- Department of Environment and Science.
Key performance indicators
The Department of Resources tracks the performance of water and sewerage service providers through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
These KPIs give a community an overview of the general state of their water and sewerage infrastructure and services. This includes:
- water security
- financial status
- customer engagement and;
- environmental performance.
External factors affecting performance
Our performance can be influenced by a number of 'external' factors, including:
- Climate – rainfall patterns, evaporation and temperature.
- Geography – geology (the type of soil) and topography of the region.
- Size – the number of people connected and the size of the area being serviced.
- Asset age – old assets may need more maintenance/repairs and may be less efficient.
- Location – Queensland is a big state with communities ranging from urban cities and towns to rural, semi-rural and remote.
- Services provided – water treatment.
- Water source – water from a river, dam or bore may need different treatment. Distance to supply affects pumping and infrastructure costs.
- Regulation – we need to achieve strict water quality standards through water and sewerage treatment.
The City makes our Annual Water and Sewerage Services Performance Reports available as part of our requirements.
