We help our customers understand the role we play, and the services we provide. We aim to teach our community about the importance of water and how it is used in our region.

We offer tours to school and community groups of our treatment plants and reservoir. We also have an education facility, the Vortex Centre, which is at Maryvale, north of Morwell.

We also support the efforts of local community groups through sponsorship and the free hire of our water fountain.

Our service area has a population of about

140,000 people. We support approximately 64,000 residential connections and major

industries within our region including the dairy, energy, and pulp and paper industries.

We have an important role in the health of our community and the local environment, supplying safe drinking water and eliminating the health risks of untreated wastewater. We must comply with the stringent legislative and regulatory frameworks required to meet the standards expected by our community.
