Melbourne's Water Supply

Melbourne’s water supply is a complex system managed by Melbourne Water which is owned by the Victorian Government.

More information about Melbourne’s water supply is available at the Melbourne Water website, including:

  • Water storages
  • Water supply catchments
  • Water quality and treatment
  • Distribution
  • Weekly water update
  • Rainfall data
There are also three retail water businesses in metropolitan Melbourne owned by the Victorian Government: City West Water, South East Water and Yarra Valley Water.

The water retailers provide drinking water, sewerage, trade waste and recycled water services to residential and non-residential (industrial and commercial) customers in Melbourne.
