water supply

Where does Melbourne’s drinking water come from?

One of Melbourne Water’s most important jobs is to protect Melbourne's water supply catchments and reservoirs from every kind of contamination. We are also responsible for the collection, treatment and transfer of water to the 3 metropolitan retail water businesses.
