The Taiwan Water Corporation (TWC; Chinese: 台灣自來水公司; pinyin: Táiwān Zìláishuǐ Gōngsī) is a state-owned water utility providing water supply to Taiwan and offshore islands of Republic of China. The company is headquartered at North District, Taichung.

History

In 1972, President Chiang Ching-kuo gave an instruction for Taiwan to set up a water corporation at a provincial level to effectively develop public water supply system. In 1973, the Taiwan Provincial Government set up a preparatory office for Taiwan Water Corporation.

Former chairman Hsu Hsiang-kun was arrested on bribery and corruption charges in September 2007,[2] and indicted in August 2014.[3] Hsu had contracted Kintech Technology Company to expand two water purification facilities in 2002. The project deadline was extended twice to November 2003 and March 2005. Hsu then accepted NT$5 million to grant Kintech a third extension to September 2007, by which time the project was completed.[4]
