Water catchments
Melbourne’s water supply catchments include 163,000 hectares of forest, including both protected and open catchments.
Why our water tastes great
Over half of the water supplied to Greater Melbourne is sourced from protected catchments. That’s one of the reasons why our water tastes so good and needs minimal treatment.
Mount Evelyn Water Treatment Plant
We’re building a back-up water treatment plant in Mount Evelyn to provide greater water security for more than half of Melburnians.
