Water Corporation forms alliance to deliver contract in Australia

Water Corporation has selected Aroona consortium as its partner to provide improved water and wastewater services for customers in Perth and Mandurah regions in Western Australia.

The contract, worth $378 million, will involve the delivery of operations, maintenance and asset management services in the collection and treatment of water and the treatment of wastewater.

Aroona, which comprises of Degremont Pty Ltd and Transfield Services, will commence work on the contract in July.

Water Corporation Metropolitan Customer Services general manager Graham Cargeeg said, "While this contract is new, we have been partnering effectively with the private sector for maintenance work for the past 15 years," Cargeeg said.

"We still own the water supply and wastewater assets and will manage and have ultimate accountability for ensuring the community has quality water and wastewater services in Western Australia."
