Emergency water provisions

A disruption to your water supply can mean little or no water is reaching your site. Emergency water provisions can help minmise the impact on your day-to-day operations.

Our expert partners, Water Direct, operate a 24/7 emergency response team to deliver fast, reliable water supply, anytime, anywhere, minimising downtime and keeping your operations running smoothly with the following services:

Emergency tankered water supply

A fleet of emergency tankers that can reach your site within hours, ready with a bulk supply of clean drinking water.

Temporary storage tank hire

If you want to plan for an emergency but don’t have suitable storage on site, consider static water tanks. They’re available on a pre-planned basis and Water Direct can supply tanks on a rental basis to suit your business’ needs.

Bottled water provision

Stocks of bottled water can be supplied by the pallet and they’ll be with you quickly direct to your site or multiple locations as required.
