Water West Services

Developer-Focussed Solutions

The water needs of large Western Australian property developments are currently serviced almost exclusively by Water Corporation. In some circumstances, land developers need access to alternative solutions to unlock and move their projects forward. Our goal is to provide services to these segments of the industry. Some developers may benefit from more specialised, smaller solutions and cost-effective infrastructure. We provide these solutions, enabling otherwise constrained property development projects the ability to realise their potential at a significantly lower capital cost. Water West’s solutions have the potential to significantly reduce potable water consumption and we target recycling of all wastewater.

Scope of Solutions

We specialise in delivering potable water and wastewater solutions, including recycled, to land development projects. Water West will build, own and operate water treatment and wastewater recycling plants and offer full customer retail services. The scope of Water West’s services includes all design, approval, construction and operations within a relatively short timeframe.
