WHAT’S IN YOUR WATER?
DUNSBOROUGH / QUINDALUP
Source:
Leederville Aquifer via Busselton Water.
Treatment:
- Chloramination
- Fluoride
- pH balancing
- Corrosion control
Considerations:
Water travels long distances, remaining chemically preserved with noticeable taste and odour.
WHAT’S IN YOUR WATER?
WITCHCLIFFE / COWARAMUP
Source:
Margaret River network.
Treatment:
- Chlorination
- Fluoride dosing
- pH balancing
- Corrosion inhibitors
Considerations:
Water is chemically stabilised over long distances, shifting away from its natural source.
Source:
Bunbury’s drinking water is sourced from a combination of groundwater (Yarragadee Aquifer) and surface water from Wellington Dam.
Treatment:
- Coagulation & flocculation (aluminium-based chemicals)
- Filtration
- Chlorination
- Fluoridation
- pH adjustment (lime or sodium hydroxide)
- Corrosion inhibitors
Considerations:
This water has undergone multiple chemical processes and is stabilised for transport,
rather than delivered in its natural state.
WHAT’S IN YOUR WATER?
BUSSELTON
Source:
Leederville Aquifer.
Treatment:
- Chloramination (chlorine + ammonia)
- Fluoride dosing
- pH correction
- Corrosion inhibitors
Considerations:
Chloramine is more stable, harder to remove, and can lead to taste, odour, and by-product issues.
WHAT’S IN YOUR WATER?
MARGARET RIVER (Water Corporation)
Source:
Ten Mile Brook Dam (surface water) plus groundwater.
Treatment:
- Coagulation (aluminium/iron salts)
- Flocculation
- Filtration
- Chlorination
- Fluoridation
- pH adjustment
Considerations:
Surface water requires heavier processing, increasing chemical load and by-product formation.
AUSTRALIND / EATON / DALYELLUP
Source:
Yarragadee Aquifer groundwater.
Treatment:
- Chlorine disinfection
- Fluoride dosing
- pH correction
- Anti-corrosion agents
Considerations:
Despite being groundwater, chemical stabilisation alters the water before it reaches the home.
