WIOA celebrated a fantastic turnout at the recent WIOA WA Super Interest Day, with close to 70 attendees from across the water industry coming together for a full program of insights, learning and collaboration.
Key speakers delivered insightful presentations including a Network Operator Development Program and an optimisation of water efficiency through a continuous wash up flow filter case study.
Key highlights included live demonstrations from the TRILITY CL2 drum capping to the much anticipated 2026 IXOM Best Tasting Tap Water in WA and the Reece Civil + Viadux WA Water Main Tapping competitions.
Water Corporation’s Capel water treatment plant in the South West claimed the title of WA’s 2026 IXOM Best Tasting Tap Water. Coming a close second was last year’s winner Water Corporation and ATJV Mundaring with Water Corporation’s Dalyellup Water treatment plant in third place.
Justin and Cullen (team Black Burl) from Water Corporation own the bragging rights to the 2026 WA Reece Civil + Viadux Main Tapping competition with a record time of 1.42 for the State.
We also proudly recognised excellence through the presentation of the 2026 WA New Operator of the Year and Operator of the Year awards. Congratulations to Casey Crisp from Water Corporation and Kahn Lockey from SSJV/Water Corporation for taking out these titles !
The energy in the room was outstanding — genuine networking, knowledge sharing, and new collaborations forged across the sector.
Thank you to Water Corporation for hosting the event and to everyone who attended, presented, supported and contributed. We’re already looking ahead to an even bigger and better WA event in 2027.
