In Melbourne, water is essential to our way of life. That’s why we plan for, manage and maintain all elements of the water cycle. From grass cutting, to weed management and revegetation to desilting our pipelines.

Desilting creeks, wetlands and drainsMelbourne Water undertakes routine inspection across many sites including drains, local creeks, waterways and retarding basins to maintain these assets, and ensure they continue to provide drainage for the local area. -
