We manage and treat our city’s sewage, ensuring the health of our environment, our communities and our families.

With the impacts of climate change and population growth, we need to work together to make every drop count.

We work with the retail water companies and other non-metropolitan water businesses to supply drinking and recycled water water, and to remove and treat sewerage.

Case study: Underwater drones are reducing the effort and cost of mapping sludge build-up in wastewater treatment lagoons.

Case study: The Tarago Water Treatment Plant has been trialling reed bed technology to reduce the volume of treatment sludge sent to landfill.

Case study: we partnered with Monash University to trial continuous-flow ultrafiltration samplers, which provide a safer way to understand the quality of water in our waterways.

Case study: a project to more efficiently remove and manage sediment build-up in stormwater treatment wetlands is reducing the amount of prescribed waste sent to landfill.

Case study: an innovative delivery approach has facilitated the application of cutting-edge sewage treatment technology and design, benefitting the community and environment.

Case study: a safety app to improve understanding of confined spaces has helped staff apply more practical safety controls, with plans to make this available industry wide.
