Water main works begin in Melbourne suburb

Vital water main renewal works are underway in the Melbourne suburb of Richmond.

The works are part of a project to renew a water supply main approaching 100 years of service.

City West Water Managing Director Anne Barker said the project is part of an ongoing upgrade program.

“This project is part of a $100 million investment in water infrastructure replacement across inner and western areas of Melbourne, ensuring our water supply network operates efficiently,” she said.
