Improving Stormwater Quality: As rainwater drains from streets into the drainage system, it carries litter, engine oil and other pollutants. Melbourne Water invested more than $600,000 and assisted 31 local councils in Melbourne to develop and implement stormwater management plans to reduce pollution and protect river and creek quality from new urban developments. The government spend up to $1.5 million a year removing litter from our drains and waterways, and we routinely remove obstructions and pollution in our rivers and creeks.
