INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING
Water supply is rain water which has been collected in water
storage lakes then treated so it is safe for people to drink.
Water supply pipes carry water to our homes and workplaces.
Who is in charged?
1. Clean and clear water (safe to drink, bathing, cleaning
etc) by using turbidity test.
2. Continuous/ long lasting supply
3. The quality of water should not deteriorate (merosot)
4. Adequate pressure
5. Adequate supply
6. Gravity flows

• Wastewater = any type of
water that has been utilized
in some capacity that
negatively impacts the
quality of the water.
• water that is discharged from
households, office and retail
buildings, and
manufacturing plants.
• Wastewater may also refer to
any water that is utilized in
an agricultural facility and is
no longer considered fit for
human consumption. What is domestic
wastewater?
Kitchen and toilet
• Recycled water is water derived from sewerage systems or trade waste that has been treated for re-use.
• In 2006/07 approximately 22.5% of Melbourne’s wastewater was recycled through agricultural, residential parks and gardens and industrial
recycling schemes.
• Recycled water is not specifically covered by the water allocation framework until it reaches a waterway. After it reaches waterways, recycled
water becomes part of the normal water allocation framework.
• Desalination: a major desalination plant is to supply up to 150 billion litres of water a year to Melbourne, Geelong and South Gippsland and
Western Port towns. Construction of the plant is scheduled to commence in 2009 in order to start delivering water by the end of 2011.
The project will include an 85 kilometre pipeline to connect the plant to Melbourne. It will be capable of providing around a third of
Melbourne's annual water supply.
