Sustainability Report 2006/07Overview
Melbourne Water manages water supply, sewerage and drainage assets valued at $8.7 billion.
Water supply and sewage treatment charges, trade waste charges and drainage rates generate our annual operating revenue of more than $500 million.
This funds our operations and infrastructure projects including water, sewerage and drainage upgrades and water recycling schemes, as well as works to protect and improve waterways, wetlands and the bays.
We meet the challenges of population growth, climate change impacts, changing land use patterns and the need to secure new water sources by focusing on business efficiency, long-term planning and risk management.
