About Us
At Urban Utilities, we exist to enrich quality of life.


We're responsible for delivering world-class drinking water and wastewater services to the growing communities of Brisbane, Ipswich, Lockyer Valley, Somerset and Scenic Rim.


We're also planning ahead so that we all can live, work, and build around water, now and for decades to come.

This brings exciting opportunities to capture, and plenty of complex challenges to get stuck into.


At the heart of everything we do is genuine care: For each other, for our customers and communities, and for the environment.

We're there when our customers need us - whether it's a simple shower or flush of a toilet, major infrastructure works or new residential developments.


Our head office is in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, but our employees work all over SEQ - including at our SAS Laboratory in Darra, field-based depots in Eagle Farm, Acacia Ridge and Bundamba, and wastewater treatment plants located across our region.
