Annual Report 2011 - Watercare

Watercare Services Limited
2011 ANNUAL REPORT
Auckland has two spectacular coastlines with highly valued harbours, estuaries, beaches
and islands. The health of these waterways is important for the development of healthy and
vibrant local communities. Watercare owns 20 wastewater treatment plants and an extensive
network of wastewater pipes, and is committed to minimising impacts on the Auckland
environment. The three largest wastewater treatment plants at Mangere, Rosedale and
Army Bay treat the majority of regional wastewater to a very high standard, helping
to protect the quality of our largest waterways, the Waitemata and Manukau harbours,
and their associated freshwater and coastal environments.
