Water is drawn from local dams through a licensing agreement with the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation and delivered through gravity flow in a network of channels and pipes to the Harvey, Waroona and Collie River districts. Supplying water to this 112,000 hectare footprint, known as the Harvey Water Irrigation Area, produces significant regional economic benefits, generating $100 million gross value annually from agriculture and horticulture. Harvey Water's 723 irrigator members and 337 non-member customers receive a sustainable and efficient water supply for agriculture, industrial, mining, construction, hobby farming, garden, fire attenuation and community use.
