About Us

At South East Water, we support healthy and liveable communities by delivering water, sewerage and recycled water services to 1.91million people who rely on us every day and every night.

Our service area covers the lands and waters of the Bunurong people, some of the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people to our north and an area in our far north east around Longwarry that currently has no Registered Aboriginal Party.

It borders more than 270 km of coastline and covers a land area of 3,640 km2 from Port Melbourne to Portsea and approximately 30 km east of Pakenham.

What We Do

Each year we deliver more than 137 billion litres of drinking water and collect more than 108 billion litres of wastewater (waste from the toilet, shower, laundry and kitchen in homes and from businesses) a tour local water recycling plants and at Melbourne Water’s Eastern and Western treatment plants.

From our water recycling plants, we produce around 2,300megalitres of recycled water used for residences, businesses, agriculture and open spaces. We also recycle biosolids for soil improvement and generate renewable energy from biogas and solar.
