For over 130 years, Melbourne Water has been planning and innovating for Melbourne’s future. Owned by the Victorian Government, we manage and protect the city’s water supply ensuring reliable, high-quality drinking water is available now and into the future. We're also responsible for reliable sewerage, healthy waterways, and drainage and flood management: • We safely treat sewage, using the waste as a resource to power our treatment plants, fertilise fields and producing high quality recycled water for gardens and agriculture. • We work to make sure communities are resilient to flooding and to minimise impacts on our rivers and creeks. • We manage rivers and creeks to ensure the surrounding environment is healthy and pleasant for the community. • We have a solid history of foresight and best practice — and we are proud of the work we do to help make Melbourne a fantastic place to live. • We work with Melbourne's three water retailers (South East Water, Yarra Valley Water, City West Water) to provide the community with drinking water and sewerage management services. • We also collaborate with councils, developers, contractors, Traditional Owner groups, the community and government agencies to deliver our core services. With the ever-present challenges of population growth, urbanisation and an increasingly changing and variable climate, we are also working hard to build a more resilient and water-sensitive city, one with a smart and sustainable water supply. Our focus is not only to deliver exceptional essential services to the people of Greater Melbourne today but to help secure a sustainable and healthy community for the generations to come.
