Welcome to WA Water Online
The Department of Water is the Western Australian government agency responsible for ensuring the state's water resources are planned, managed and developed to meet community requirements, now and in the future.
The economic, environmental and social wellbeing of future generations depends on the responsible decisions we make today about the state's water needs.
While other government agencies and organisations are charged with looking after service delivery, the vitally important work of managing the state's water resources, and ensuring water services are provided to all Western Australians, lies with us.
