Summary:Sydney Water, a statutory corporation responsible for capturing, storing, treating, and reticulating Sydney's water, has contracted for privately built, owned, and operated (BOO) treatment plants.

The authors review the BOO bidding process, the risk-sharing arrangements between Sydney Water and the treatment companies, and the new regulatory process for setting water prices.
