Projects

Melbourne Water has completed upgrade works to the Maribyrnong River Main (MRM) sewer, which transports approximately 24 million litres of wastewater each day to the Western Treatment Plant.

Melbourne Water has undertaken rehabilitation works on the Marina Road Main Drain, located on Mentone Dog Beach, to keep the drain functioning well into the future.

Melbourne Water is undertaking works at the Mordialloc Sewer Pump Station located at 62 Chute Street (corner of Chute and Bear Streets). This pump station transfers the flow from South East Water’s Beach Road Main Sewer that services Mentone, Parkdale and Mordialloc.

We are the caretaker of 8400 km of rivers, creeks and over 200 wetlands across Melbourne. We are responsible for managing Seaford Wetlands, which naturally attracts large numbers of mosquitos.

Onsite works are now complete for a new stormwater drain to significantly reduce the impact of flooding in the area.

Melbourne Water is planning to build a new pipeline to meet growing demand for water in the northern and western suburbs of Greater Melbourne.

We’re upgrading O’Shannassy Reservoir, replacing its outlet pipe and tower structure so the reservoir continues operating effectively.

To continue our important work of maintaining and improving our infrastructure and assets, Melbourne Water will be conducting corrosion protection works on the Patterson Lakes tidal gates. This work will involve re-coating the gates with an anti-corrosive paint.

Melbourne Water will construct a new stormwater drain and wetland in the Pioneer Bay area to improve flood protection, waterway health and storm water issues. It's a continuation of our important work of providing flood protection to the community.

To improve the local amenity, natural habitat and safety for High Street road users and pedestrians, we are proposing to remove the stand of Monterey Cypress and Monterey Pines trees that are within the Preston Reservoir site.
