3 WSAA Product Appraisal PA1427 Issue 2 3 Overview of WSAA The Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA) is the peak industry body that supports the Australian Urban Water Industry. Its members and associate members provide water and sewerage services to approximately 20 million Australians and many of Australia s largest industrial and commercial enterprises. The Association facilitates collaboration, knowledge sharing, networking and cooperation within the urban water industry. It is proud of the collegiate attitude of its members which has led to industry-wide approaches to national water issues. WSAA can demonstrate success in the standardisation of industry performance monitoring and benchmarking, as well as many research outcomes of national significance. The WSAA Executive retains strong links with policy makers and legislative bodies and their influences, to monitor emerging issues of importance to the urban water industry. WSAA is regularly consulted and its advice sought by decision makers when developing strategic directions for the water industry. WSAA was formed in 1995 as a non-profit organisation to foster the exchange of information relating to the provision of urban water services between industry, government and the community, and to promote sustainable water resource management. The Association s main activities focus on four areas: 1. Influencing national and state policies on the provision of urban water services and sustainable water resource management; 2. Promoting debate on environmentally sustainable development and management of water resources and the community health requirements of public water supplies; 3. Improving industry performance and establishing benchmarks and industry leading practices for water service processes; and 4. Fostering the exchange of information on education, training, research, water and wastewater management and treatment and other matters of common interest. Copyright This document is copyrighted.
