Being located on the banks of the beautiful River Derwent, water is an integral part of the cultural and physical Hobart. From the mountain water supply catchment to the Derwent Estuary boating community, the presence of Hobart's water is felt by all who visit and those of us lucky enough to live here.
This area of the Hobart City Council's website is devoted to all aspects of water around Hobart. You can find information about Hobart's stormwater network, which represent kilometres of underground pipes. Also, read about the Council's waterways and environmental initiatives to reduce stormwater pollution entering the River Derwent.
Since 1 July 2009, Southern Water operates as the water and wastewater service provider for Southern Tasmania. To report any faults or emergencies or if you have any general queries relating to water and sewerage systems, please contact Southern Water on 13MYWATER (13 69 92) or southernwater@southerwatertas.com.au.
