Whilst in operation, the SEQ Water Grid Manager purchased the services to store, treat, produce and transport bulk water from Seqwater and LinkWater to sell to SEQ Water Grid customers - council-owned, businesses and power stations.

The SEQ Water Grid Manager was also responsible for ensuring safe, secure and efficient water is delivered to SEQ Water Grid customers; managing the SEQ Water Grid's debt profile; implementing a whole-of-Grid risk management framework; and implementing whole-of-Grid improvement projects.
