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 web site is devoted to all aspects of water around Hobart. You can find information about Hobart's drinking water, stormwater and wastewater networks, which represent over one thousand kilometres of underground pipes with an approximate replacement value of over $600 million. Also, read about the Council's waterways and environmental initiatives to reduce stormwater pollution entering the River Derwent.
