A Melbourne Water project team has won a national industry award in the category of Infrastructure Project Innovation for their work on the Hobsons Bay Main Upgrade Project, at an industry awards ceremony hosted by the Australian Water Association in Adelaide on Wednesday night.

"The timely delivery of drainage and water management infrastructure is critical to delivering more homes more quickly.”

“We’re balancing the need for important investments and keeping prices low for our customers.”

"The new plant is strategically located to treat water from Silvan Reservoir, feeding into three major underground mains that serve the metropolitan area through Greenvale Reservoir."

"To improve how we handle litter, we need to track down where it’s coming from, see how it gets into our stormwater system, and tackle the problem at the source."

The community at Truganina turned out on Saturday to celebrate the opening of a new park along the old Main Outfall Sewer, where locals and visitors can meet, play, and relax.

Melbourne’s declining water supplies will be boosted with desalinated water.

“From the water bubbling on the banks and splashing ducks, to birdsong and rustling leaves, the creek is singing again.”

"The study will prioritise the safety of the local community and the Lower Maribyrnong River ecosystem."

"The water we save today is an investment in our future."
