Our activities

We continue to focus on our core competencies of water and waste water management, and aim to deliver value to all stakeholders by being a leading performer in the industry. We are firmly rooted within the communities we serve. This understanding of, and commitment to, those communities is demonstrated by our leadership in initiatives such as ′Water for Health′, affordable housing and in our approach to corporate responsibility. Our mission is clear – to be the national leader; our strategy reflects this and provides a clear direction for all our activities.
