We're upgrading the Hawthorn East Retarding Basin, located next to Rathmines Reserve, to ensure a safe drainage system and prevent surrounding homes from flooding.

We're performing upgrades to the Essex Street Main Drain - one of Melbourne Water's significant drains in the South Yarra and Prahran catchment.

In Melbourne, a safe, clean and healthy environment is essential to our way of life. Through an extensive network of underground pipes and sewers we manage and treat our city's sewage, ensuring the health of our environment, our communities and our families. Without improvements and innovations, that enormous sewerage network would reach capacity and our waste would impact on the health of your environment. That's why at Melbourne Water we are upgrading sections of the North Yarra Main (NYM) Sewer between Yarra Flats Park, Ivanhoe East and Farms Rd, Alphington (3.5kms). Ensuring we maintain our world class sewerage system today, tomorrow and for generations to come.

We have been working with the City of Yarra to repair rockwork along a section of the Yarra Main Trail near Dights Falls in Abbotsford affected by erosion. These works are now complete and will ensure continued, safe use of the trail for pedestrians, cyclists, and for people of all abilities.

As part of the Enhancing Our Dandenong Creek program, Melbourne Water is working with stakeholders and the community to improve the habitat, ecology and amenity of Dandenong Creek.

Melbourne Water is committed to maintaining our world-class sewerage system in your local area. That’s why we're carrying out critical sewer maintenance works at the intersection of Burnley Street and Newry Street in Richmond.

To secure a reliable water future for Melbourne's growing western suburbs, we're building a new bypass pipeline at St Albans Reservoir. This connection to our northern reservoirs will enhance our ability to deliver a sustainable water supply, now and for a changing climate.

We’re finding smart ways to actively manage and improve the health of Monbulk Creek for our community and the environment.

We will be removing trees and vegetation that are invasive weeds along the Werribee River in Bacchus Marsh then replanting the area with native trees and plants. Our maintenance program will also include rabbit control.
These works will improve the health of this waterway by protecting it from erosion while ensuring the local platypus population and other native animals and plants can thrive.
