What is Water Forever?

Water Forever is a strategy for Perth and the surrounding areas to secure water and wastewater service delivery up to 2050.

The Water Corporation is already working hard to ensure there is enough water for Perth and our environment, even in a drying climate. But we are also asking for our customer’s input into how we can keep improving the way we use and manage our water.

As part of Water Forever the Water Corporation is intending to talk with our customers about:

• Conserving the water we have by using it wisely
• Creating sustainable and innovative ways to provide and recycle water
• Connecting communities to safe and reliable water and wastewater services.

What issues will Water Forever cover?

The project will look at a range of issues related to the Water Corporation’s responsibilities to provide water and wastewater services to the Perth community and surrounding areas. These issues will include:

• Principles for sustainable water management;
• Existing and new drinking water sources, including current and future water conservation and recycling initiatives;
• What we do with our wastewater and drainage water; and
• Moving water and wastewater around WA’s water grid- the network of pipes that connects households and businesses to our water and wastewater services.

Will it consider water and wastewater issues across the State?

The project will focus on service delivery with the main water grid for Perth, heading north to Lancelin, east to Kalgoorlie and south to Collie. It will not focus on individual water or wastewater services in regional towns, but everyone is welcome to get involved.
