Water Quality Archive on the Data Services Platform
Created: 08 Dec 2025 Updated: 08 Dec 2025
We are permanently turning off the legacy Water Quality Archive (WQA) on Monday, 08 December.
This is because of a data issue which lead to system instability on the legacy system.
That same data issue didn't have the same impact on the new Water Quality Explorer (WQE), and that operation was unaffected by the same data issue.
Please ensure you have read this announcement that tells you how to transition to the new API.
