Melbourne’s sewerage system
Through 400 kilometres of underground pipes and sewers, we manage and treat our city’s sewage, ensuring the health of our environment, our communities and our families.
Melbourne’s drainage system
Rain, storms and floods are a natural part of life in Melbourne. As our city grows, increased pressure on our drains and waterways presents new challenges. Melbourne Water manages a complex drainage system, including retarding basins and wetlands, to protect our iconic rivers, creeks and bays from the impacts of stormwater.
