Forty Water Corporation electrical cabinets and pump stations across WA have been turned into artwork through the Splash of Colour program.

Water Minister Dave Kelly said it aimed to “enhance the liveability and vibrancy of local neighbourhoods while educating the community about the impacts of climate change and importance of conserving water for generations to come.”

“I’m in awe of Lawry Halden’s talent in transforming this functional asset into something that is not only beautiful, but reflects the local community’s connection to water,” he said.
