Connection to our asset is normally through outfall to a surface channel (either natural or constructed), or to an underground pipe system. The number of connections to our drainage system is to be minimised.

In some instances Melbourne Water may require the developer to create an operation plan as part of the new asset.

Find out our requirements for updating design plans with ‘as constructed’ information, including annotations, or view an example.

'As constructed' information for open channels is relatively easy to obtain due to the accessibility, but can be dangerous due to slope and smoothness of surfaces, especially if the area is wet.

'As constructed' information of levee banks is relatively easy due to the accessibility.

The 'as constructed' information for all pipelines/structures and channels relating to retarding basins and wetlands, or retarding basin walls (levee banks), must be provided.
