On 1 July 2008, LinkWater assumed control of approximately 350km of SEQ council-owned bulk water pipelines and associated works.

LinkWater works alongside LinkWater Projects. LinkWater Projects is the government's special purpose vehicle (SPV) for the design and construction of potable bulk water pipelines in SEQ.

Both LinkWater and LinkWater Projects are governed by the same Board and CEO.

Early in 2009, LinkWater gained control of an additional 150km of new potable bulk water pipelines completed and handed over by LinkWater Projects.

The Southern Regional Water Pipeline (SRWP), the Eastern Pipeline Interconnector (EPI) and the Northern Pipeline Interconnector (NPI) - Stage 1 were completed and delivered on time and on budget.

Two additional pipelines constructed by other alliances and then transferred to LinkWater, added a further 35km of new pipelines to LinkWater's portfolio.

With the completion of the Northern Pipeline Interconnector - Stage 2 by 2011 and the Cedar Grove Connector in 2012, LinkWater will operate nearly 600km of potable bulk water pipelines critical to the operation of the SEQ Water Grid.
