Overview

Delivering essential water and wastewater services through a unique partnership between South Australia's water utility and a global leader in water solutions.

Project Summary:

The SA Water - SUEZ Production & Treatment (P&T) Alliance is a long-term strategic partnership responsible for the operation, maintenance and optimisation of metropolitan Adelaide's critical drinking water, wastewater, and recycled water infrastructure.

The Alliance combines the strengths of South Australia's publicly owned water utility, SA Water, with SUEZ's global expertise in water treatment, asset management, operational excellence, and digital innovation. Together, the Alliance delivers safe, reliable, and sustainable water services to approximately 1.2 million South Australians while supporting economic growth, environmental stewardship, and local industry participation across the state.

About the Production & Treatment Alliance:

The Production & Treatment Alliance represents a unique public-private partnership model that integrates SA Water's asset ownership, strategic direction and community responsibilities with SUEZ's international operational capabilities and technical expertise.

Unlike a traditional contractor-client arrangement, the Alliance operates through a collaborative service delivery model focused on shared outcomes, continuous improvement, innovation, safety, environmental performance, and customer value. This integrated approach has supported metropolitan Adelaide's water and wastewater services for more than a decade and continues to evolve to meet the future needs of South Australia.
