Canterbury Road, Box Hill pipe scanning works

Current

We're maintaining Melbourne Water’s pipeline in Box Hill to increase water delivery capacity to Melbourne's northeastern suburbs. We’re rehabilitating this vital connection to enhance water delivery, ensuring a reliable and sustainable supply for today, tomorrow and generations to come. 

What we are doing

Melbourne Water will be commencing a number of site investigations to gather critical information to inform the assessment of main drain improvements.  

Why we are doing this project 

The objective of the program is to deliver comprehensive monitoring to establish where remediation works are required to enable a continued supply of water to the Melbourne metropolitan area into the future.
