Open House Melbourne: Preston Service Reservoir
Join us for a guided tour of the Preston Service Reservoir.
Hawthorn East Main Drain
The Hawthorn East Main Drain (HEMD) is part of the complex drainage system which Melbourne Water manages. A recent inspection of the HEMD found that sections may be reaching the end of their working life resulting in brick separation and some brick loss. That’s why at Melbourne Water we are upgrading the HEMD so that it can continue to ensure that rainfall and ground water can safely flow away from built-up areas into rivers and creeks.

Cement Creek Redwood Forest upgrades
We are improving visitor access and protecting the environment along Cement Creek and the Yarra River at the popular Redwood Forest in Warburton.
Some paths near the riverbank will be temporarily closed while we build a boardwalk, viewing platforms, walking paths and fencing, and revegetate the riverbank to protect native plants and animals for generations to come.
Tree management
At Melbourne Water, we manage trees and vegetation at our reservoirs, along pipe tracks and across our catchments.
Rubbish dumping
Melbourne Water manages our rivers, creeks, and catchments, including large areas of land to support the function of the water supply and sewer network. Illegal rubbish dumping can sometimes occur on Melbourne Water land.
