History
The Water Authority of Western Australia was founded in 1985 under the Water Authority Act 1984.Template:Efn[1] Its purpose was to manage the water supply, sewerage, and main drainage across the entire state of Western Australia. Previously, these had been managed by two separate entities: the Metropolitan Water Authority covered the metropolitan region, and the Public Works Department covered regional Western Australia.[2][3][4]
It was superseded by the Water Corporation on 1 January 1996.[3][4]
