What We Do
Cradle Mountain Water began operation on 1 July 2009 after the water and wastewater operations of the nine north western councils merged with former bulk water authority Cradle Coast Water. As a result, we manage, operate and maintain water and wastewater services in North West Tasmania - from Latrobe to Strahan.
