It's your water future

Seqwater is planning now for South East Queenland's future water supply.
We need to understand what our communities think so the plan meets expectations and delivers water for life.
- What will our water needs be in the future?
- What do you value about water?
- Which water options do you prefer?

There are six future water option categories available for South East Queensland.
WATCH the water option videos:
Purified recycled water for drinking
Decentralised schemes (rainwater, stormwater etc)
Demand management (voluntary water conservation)
No single option will fulfil all of our requirements - we will need a range of options. But to help us plan, we need to understand which options the community prefers.
ASSESS the options
Each of the options has pros and cons and none of the options performs best against all criteria. To make decisions, we will need to make trade offs.
Feedback from our community forums last year that information and discussion showed that information and discussion can impact preferences. Here are participant's preferences before and after table discussions.
Watch the videos and tell us what you think.

As a community, we need to consider our demand for water, the water supply options available to us and the way we operate the SEQ Water Grid.
