Source basis

Water Corporation's official organization page states that it is owned by the Western Australian State Government, accountable to the Minister for Water, and the principal supplier of water, wastewater, and drainage services in the state. Its 2025 annual-report page records performance against a Statement of Corporate Intent agreed with the Minister and identifies more than 4,000 employees managing those services. The supplier portal documents current tenders, supplier registration, HSE prequalification, technical standards, inspections, and eProcurement. The Alkimos project page and July 2025 tunnel-boring-machine release identify Water Corporation as the utility owner and alliance participant for a desalination system that includes separate seawater-intake and brine-outfall tunnels beneath the seabed. Its owner, client, acceptance and operating role is separate from Western Australian policy and funding decisions, the Alkimos SeaWater Alliance's design-and-delivery responsibilities, specialist marine packages and environmental regulation.
