CAQA ClearFlow Water is a regional water corporation that supplies drinking water to about 68,000 people in eleven towns, collects and treats their sewage, and delivers irrigation and stock and domestic water through a gravity channel network to farms across the district. The business draws raw water from a river offtake and a groundwater bore field, treats it at the Kialla plant, and moves it through 1,400 kilometres of mains, 32 pump stations and 19 service reservoirs. Wastewater flows through 720 kilometres of sewers to the Mooroopna plant, where treated effluent is recycled to a dairy pasture irrigation scheme under an environmental licence.
The business runs from a head office and control centre in the Shepparton region, two treatment plants, a northern depot and a rural water office. Water and wastewater operators work a rotating roster with a day shift, an afternoon plant shift and an on-call standby crew for the network and control centre outside hours. Six departments report to the Managing Director: Water Treatment, Wastewater Treatment, Networks and Maintenance, Catchment, Dams and Storages, Control Centre and Water Quality, and Customer and Trade Waste. The control centre monitors every site through the supervisory control and data acquisition system 24 hours a day.
We treat every litre as if our own families will drink it. Critical control points are never bypassed and every exceedance is reported.
Confined spaces, chemicals, excavations and live traffic are part of our work; permits, gas testing and lookouts are how we go home unharmed.
We protect the river, the groundwater and the land we return water to, and we account for every megalitre we take and discharge.
