About Us
Melbourne Water is owned by the Victorian Government. We manage Melbourne's water supply catchments, remove and treat most of Melbourne's sewage, and manage rivers and creeks and major drainage systems throughout the Port Phillip and Westernport region.
We are a significant business, responsible for managing $8.4 billion in water supply, sewerage and drainage assets, and we are committed to looking after these in a way that protects and improves their environmental, social and financial values.
An independent Board of Directors is responsible for the governance of Melbourne Water. The responsible Minister is the Minister for Water.
Our people have diverse skills and expertise and we place a high priority on building strong partnerships and relationships with the community and all our other stakeholders. Our customers include the metropolitan retail water businesses, other water authorities, local councils and the land development industry.
