Company

Overview

2.6M km²

Operating Area

The company spans across a vast region of 2.6 million square kilometers, ensuring water supply and management across Western Australia.

40% Desalination & Groundwater

Water Sources

Approximately 40% of Perth’s water supply comes from desalination and groundwater sources, supporting the region's needs.

100Bn Liters Recycled

Groundwater Replenishment

The company recycles 100 billion liters of water annually, enhancing groundwater supplies.

With roots dating back to 1996, this state‑owned utility has evolved from the Water Authority into the backbone of WA’s water life.
Boasting projects like the new Victoria Dam (built 1990–91 using fly‑ash RCC) and Aboriginal community upgrades, its engineering legacy is vast.
Financed through customer revenue, most surplus funds are channeled back to the government or reinvested in projects.
Its asset footprint spans dams, desalination plants, groundwater networks and irrigation schemes like the Ord and Gascoyne.
Its operations span regional towns (from Karratha to Albany), underscoring its mission to keep WA’s communities flowing.
An unexpected highlight: its workforce embraces five‑year flexible leave cycles, letting staff recharge creatively.
