Greater Western Water Competitors

We’re the principal supplier of water, wastewater and drainage services in Western Australia to hundreds of thousands of homes, businesses and farms, as well as providing bulk water to farms for irrigation. Our services, projects and activities span over 2.6 million square kilometres. We have regional offices in Perth, Bunbury, Albany, Karratha, Geraldton, Northam and Kalgoorlie which allow our employees to provide a high level of professional expertise to customers. We have over 3,500 employees and manage an asset base of over $37 billion in water supply, wastewater, drainage infrastructure and bulk water for irrigation. We’re owned by the Western Australian Government and are accountable to our sole shareholder, the Minister for Water, for delivery of our services in a commercial manner. Most of our surplus is returned to the government as a dividend to contribute to the development of the state, with the remainder reinvested in capital works. Water Corporation was created in January 1996, in a restructure of the water industry in Western Australia. The Water Authority in turn had been created in 1985 through a merger of the former Metropolitan Water Authority, which operated in Perth, the state capital, and the water and wastewater operations of the former WA Public Works Department. We’re the seventh successive agency to deal with these services in Perth, Western Australia. We're evolving... Living on the world’s driest continent, the biggest challenge we face is reducing the impact of climate change. It’s never been more important to work collaboratively with government, industry, and the community, to secure our water future and take care of our home state. To support these efforts, our vision focuses on our operations having the lowest possible environmental impact, are safe for all, and are delivered at the lowest total cost.

We deliver essential and sustainable water services for the benefit of the community. We put customers front of mind and contribute to liveable cities. We provide drinking water, recycled water, wastewater services and some stormwater services to more than four million people in Sydney, Illawarra and the Blue Mountains. Drinking water is sourced from a network of dams managed by Water NSW, then treated and delivered to customers' homes and businesses by Sydney Water. We are Australia's largest water utility with over 3,200 staff and an area of operations covering 12,700 square kilometres. We, a statutory State owned corporation wholly owned by the New South Wales Government, have three equal, principal objectives: - to protect public health - to protect the environment - to be a successful business.

We service 2 million people and 60,000 businesses across a 4,000-kilometre area, from Wallan in the north to Warburton in the east. We buy bulk water from Melbourne Water for distribution to our customers. We remove and treat sewage, most of which is transferred to Melbourne Water’s treatment plants. The rest is treated at our 9 regional plants, where we also recycle water for use in homes, sports fields and public spaces.
