Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic) firefighters recruited by Melbourne Water have been preparing the land surrounding its reservoirs and assets to help reduce bushfire risk and protect Melbourne’s precious water supply.
Partnership projects and case studies can request to use the Melbourne Water logo in their communication materials.
Properties affected by the Eastern Victorian bushfires can access support from the Victorian and Commonwealth governments for replacing rainwater and septic tanks, and undertaking geotechnical assessments.
When river levels are low, waterway diverters may be restricted or banned from taking water in order to protect the environment.
