Melbourne Water staff and crews are working with partner agencies to manage contaminated runoff from a large fire on Wednesday 10 July at Swann Drive in Derrimut.

Melbourne Water has opened a new education centre that will teach Victorian students how to create a sustainable future using interactive scenarios our engineers and staff manage in real life.

In April, Melbourne Water released new flood modelling for the Maribyrnong River to help the community and agencies better understand flood risk across the catchment.

The fallout from the Derrimut chemical fire continues as Melbourne Water has received and continues treating 12 million litres of contaminated firewater at its Western Treatment Plant (WTP): the equivalent of six Olympic swimming pools.

Melbourne Water is looking at how to improve our waterways and drainage services over the next five years.
