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.
