Who we sponsor

How we're supporting your community

We’re proud to work with communities across Greater Sydney to support events and activities. Sponsorships and partnerships help us to educate people of all ages about water, wastewater and our responsibilities to the environment. Great opportunities open up all the time, and we welcome your suggestions.  


Our partners

We're working with Cricket NSW to encourage people of all ages to choose tap water over bottled water or sugary drinks.

Cricket NSW

As Hydration partner of the NSW Blues, NSW Breakers, Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder, we're highlighting Sydney’s drinking water. 

We're working with Cricket NSW to educate and encourage people of all ages to choose tap water over bottled water or sugary drinks whenever possible. After all, water is a healthy choice that's already filtered. It's the most affordable and sustainable choice for Sydneysiders and sportspeople alike.

Keep an eye out for us at the cricket, and remember to BYO bottle and stay hydrated.

Portable water refill stations for community events

We're pleased to be able to lend our portable water refill stations to councils for community events.

We want to make affordable drinking water available for everyone, even when they're away from home. Our portable water refill stations also reduce the need to buy water in plastic bottles, protecting the environment.

If you're a council or community organisation interested in borrowing portable water refill stations, book here or click here to find out more.

Bring your own drink bottle and refill it at approved community events.


Donations and fundraising

We often lend a hand when disaster strikes.

Our fundraising and donations program helps staff give back to causes and charities close to their hearts.

Payroll donations

We're proud to support over 120 Australian charities that our staff are passionate about. We dollar-match staff payroll donations, and together we contributed over $250,000 last financial year.

Emergency and disaster relief appeals

There are times when we help with disaster relief or emergency situations. This may mean:

  • providing hands-on assistance
  • giving expert advice
  • supporting our staff to fund-raise.
