Experienced water industry executive Graham Wood has accepted the position, with Hunter Water’s Chief Investment Officer, Darren Cleary, acting in the Chief Executive Officer role until Mr Wood’s term commences.

“Mr Wood is familiar with Hunter Water and our region, having worked closely with the organisation over the last 18 months helping to inform our strategy and direction.
“Hunter Water remains committed to its strategic direction, and I know that Graham shares the Board’s commitment to continue working with our communities to Love Water, appropriately respond to current drought conditions, improve our customer experience, continue reductions in network leakage, improve operational efficiencies and responsibly plan for our water future.”
