The Queensland Bulk Water Transport Authority, trading as LinkWater, is the Queensland Government statutory authority responsible for the management, operation and maintenance of potable bulk water pipelines and related infrastructure throughout South East Queensland (SEQ).

In 2008-2009, LinkWater established operational control for 535 km of potable bulk water pipelines and related infrastructure that forms the backbone of the SEQ Water Grid. This infrastructure is made up of existing assets acquired from councils under the South East Queensland Water (Restructuring) Act 2007, three new reverse-flow pipelines constructed by LinkWater projects and two connected pipelines constructed by other alliances.

In addition to bulk water pipelines, related infrastructure under LinkWater's control comprises 28 reservoirs/balance tanks, 22 pump stations and six water quality facilities.

As the network controller, LinkWater moves on average 600 megalitres of water per day across the SEQ Water Grid, to where it is needed most.
