The Water Corporation is the principal supplier of water, wastewater and drainage services throughout the state of Western Australia. It is the seventh successive agency to deal with the services in Perth, Western Australia. With offices on Perth, Bunbury, Albany, Karratha, Geraldton, Northan and Kalgoorlie, the corporation's services, projects and activities span 2.6 million square kilometres. The corporation employs over 3,000 people and manages an asset base over $15 billion〔http://www.watercorporation.com.au/about-us/the-way-we-work〕 (AUD) in water supply, wastewater, drainage infrastructure and bulk water for irrigation. The corporation is owned by the Western Australian Government and is accountable to its sole shareholder, the Minister for Water. Most of the corporation's surplus is returned to the Government as a dividend to contribute to the development of the state, with the remainder invested in capital works. == Formation == The 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Water Corporation (Western Australia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
