Melbourne is the worlds's most liveable city with more than 4 million people calling it home.
Our world-class sewerage system removes Melbourne's sewage via a network of more than 400 kilometres of underground tunnels and pipes.
Some sections of Melbourne's original sewer network were built more than 100 years ago; as a result approximately 15 km of pipes and tunnels need relining.
These works will extend the life of the sewers by a minimum of 50 years.
Six sections of Melbourne's original sewer network will be upgraded as part of Melbourne Water's sewer relining program.
- Essendon
- Maribyrnong
- Spotswood
- Brighton
- Hawthorn
- Ivanhoe
Commencing in early 2018, the works program will create more local jobs and will be phased over 3 years.
There will be some traffic disruptions during the works; however, Melbourne Water will work with local councils and VicRoads to keep traffic moving.
