Melbourne Water respectfully acknowledges the Bunurong, Gunaikurnai, Taungurung, Wadawurrung and Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land and water on which we rely and operate. We pay our deepest respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

At Melbourne Water, we understand the central role water plays in our communities, environment and economy.

We also understand that we live and work on the land and waterways Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have lived on and used for thousands of years, and recognise the intrinsic connection of Traditional Owners to Country.

Melbourne has some of the highest-quality drinking water in the world, and our water tastes great from the tap.
