Who can have a RWS

---

Rural Water Service  (​RWS) aim is to provide a non-potable water service for people living in rural areas who require a small amount of water for stock and garden needs.

RWS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harvey Water, formed in 2004 to supply non-potable water to landowners along the pipeline, typically on lots of less than 5ha.
​
A Rural Water Service (RWS) replaces what was previously known as a By-Law 11, opportunistic supply. With the introduction of the piped irrigation water system in Harvey and Waroona, new applicants and existing By-Law customers wanting a stock and garden supply may have the option to become RWS customers. 
 
For further information and an application form contact the Harvey Water office on 9729 0100.
 
Please note that we currently not accepting applications for new RWS services in the Waroona irrigation district.  We have the situation where there is more demand from our farming shareholders than we can readily supply, and dam levels supplying this district are very low.  This does not affect existing Waroona RWS services.
 
Water supply non-potable – RWS is a non-potable water service.  Water must not be used for drinking, cooking, cleaning, bathing, laundry or any other household purpose and may cause serious illness injury or death if consumed or used in such a manner. This is in accordance with the RWS Customer Service Charter and your signed connection contract.
