If you've ever wondered what happens to the water you've used after it heads down the plughole, here's your answer. 🚽 🚿 💧
This virtual tour, led by Technical Advisor Kendall, takes you on a behind-the-scenes look at what happens to your wastewater once it arrives at one of our Water Resource Recovery Facilities - a special type of wastewater treatment plant - and how the water continues on its journey.
Water Corporation is the principal supplier of water and wastewater services in Western Australia, and this was filmed at our Beenyup plant in Craigie, just north of Perth.
