Projects

The Western Treatment Plant (WTP) sustainably treats almost half of Melbourne’s sewage daily. We’ve been constructing the 5 West Nutrient Removal Plant (NRP) to ensure a safe sewerage service for local homes and businesses now and into the future. 

We're partially upgrading Beaconsfield Reservoir to protect downstream properties and communities. The reservoir was permanently disconnected from Melbourne's water supply network in 1988.

Melbourne Water has upgraded the Cranbourne Service Reservoir Tank to ensure it continues to provide ensure a high standard of water quality now and into the future.

We're upgrading the Hawthorn East Retarding Basin, located next to Rathmines Reserve, to ensure a safe drainage system and prevent surrounding homes from flooding.

We’re replacing the sewer siphon that runs under the Yarra River, as part of the second phase of works on the Hawthorn Main Sewer upgrade.

Melbourne Water is upgrading the Hobsons Bay Main Sewer to ensure the continued reliability of Melbourne's sewage network.

We are upgrading sections of the Mordialloc Main Sewer (MRD) from Chute Street along White Street to Malcolm Road. Ensuring we maintain our world class sewerage system today, tomorrow and for generations to come.

Melbourne Water will be constructing a new water treatment plant in Mount Evelyn.

The Port Melbourne Drainage Pump Station on Esplanade West was built in 1891 to provide flood protection to a catchment of 126 hectares across the Port Melbourne area. The station houses four pumps that pump storm water from the historical wetlands out into Port Phillip Bay.

Three of the pumps were installed in 1951, with the fourth installed in 1981. All four pumps are nearing the end of their service life and require upgrading to ensure flood mitigation services are continued to be provided in Port Melbourne.

As part of the works, a cross-connecting drainage point located within Lagoon Reserve, off Graham Street, will be upgraded to prevent sea water from re-entering and corroding drain and pump station assets in the future.
