About us
The Sydney Catchment Authority (SCA) is a NSW Government agency created in 1999. The SCA manages and protects Sydney's drinking water catchments and catchment infrastructure, and supplies bulk water to its customers, including Sydney Water and a number of local councils.
The SCA's objectives are:
- to manage and protect the catchment area and catchment infrastructure to promote water quality
- to protect public health and safety, and the environment
- to ensure that the water it supplies is of appropriate quality
- to operate according to the principles of ecologically sustainable development
- to efficiently and economically manage catchment infrastructure works.
The SCA's customers then filter the water the SCA supplies and distribute it to households, businesses and other users. More than four million people, about 60 percent of the NSW population, use water supplied by the SCA.
