To mark National Water Week (21-27 October), Melbourne Water is excited to open 2025 school bookings for its brand-new unique and immersive learning experience, The Future Water Story, located at the Western Treatment Plant in Werribee.
In Melbourne, rivers and creeks are essential to our way of life. That's why we are committed to enhancing life and liveability in your local area and are upgrading the North Heatherton Wetland.
Melbourne’s drinking water is subject to strict water quality standards. We regularly test samples taken throughout our water supply network – view water quality results.
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 Heidelberg Park near Darebin Street through Jika Street to Yarra Flats Park through The Boulevard (1.8km). Ensuring we maintain our world class sewerage system today, tomorrow and for generations to come.
From the Ground Up is a series of eight short films which demonstrate the diversity of efforts and activities which define environmental volunteers across the Greater Melbourne area.
Explore the future of water through a new experience at the Western Treatment Plant.
