Uplifting Adelaide’s urban landscape with essential water and wastewater services
In South Australia, SUEZ and its partner, SA Water, deliver sustainable water and wastewater services to residents in metropolitan Adelaide – one of the driest inhabited places on Earth.
In 2011, SA Water adopted an alliance model to enhance the operation and
maintenance of Adelaide’s metropolitan water and wastewater systems. 10
years on, the partnership continues, as SA Water entered a new alliance
contract with SUEZ for the production and treatment water and
wastewater services to metropolitan Adelaide, the fifth largest city in
the country.
The mission
The best of both worlds
Co-creation and collaborative partnerships between the public and private sectors can generate significant efficiencies in government-owned water utilities, helping them meet current and future challenges. This was the case when government-owned water utility, SA Water, united with us to support its delivery of services in metropolitan Adelaide.
Our answer
Partners in efficiency
SUEZ operates five drinking water and five wastewater treatment plants and three recycled water plants, catering to the needs of over one million people in South Australia.
In collaboration with SA Water, we have developed an industry participation plan with initiatives to transform the contract into tangible economic and socioeconomic benefits for the region.
As part of this plan, we have created an ambitious business improvement program, which aims to achieve sustainable savings that will be supported by the implementation of smart solutions developed by the SUEZ Group. These include the AQUADVANCED® suite. This suite of digital tools is dedicated to the optimisation of the management and control of water and wastewater networks and plants, thanks in particular to the optimized and predictive control of infrastructures.
