Our Housing Statement Roadmap establishes key areas for improvement that will enable more development, faster.
Population growth and climate change are creating a new normal for our water supply. Let's talk about the key issues.
Bushfires in our catchments impact the quality and quantity of our water supplies. We play a critical role in protecting Melbourne's drinking water from bushfires.
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.
Our rivers and creeks are essential to our way of life and the plants and animals that depend on them. That’s why at Melbourne Water we’re improving the health of Findon Creek in Epping and Wollert with a weeding and revegetation program over 3 years.
