We’re upgrading parts of the Maroondah Reservoir Transfer System to keep our water supply strong and reliable for the future.
The system, located near Healesville, provides about 200 million litres of clean drinking water to Melbourne every day. Some parts of it were built in the 1890s and 1920s and are now becoming too old to continue being used.
Replacing it with modern infrastructure means we can continue supplying safe water to homes and businesses for generations to come.
This ambitious 50-year strategy sets the direction for wastewater management in Melbourne for future generations.
We’re finding smart ways to actively manage and improve the health of Monbulk Creek for our community and the environment.
