Water

Rous supplies Ballina, Byron, Lismore, and Richmond Valley councils with the drinking water they provide for their communities.

What we do

At Rous, we manage the water sources, catchments, and distribution of water so councils across the region can supply 100,000 people with clean drinking water.

Pristine catchments

The water we supply to councils comes from three catchments: Rocky Creek, Emigrant Creek, and Wilsons River. These catchment areas feed water into the rivers, creeks, and reservoirs that make us our water sources.
