Lancefield

Water

We use a number of water sources to ensure we can meet demand in Lancefield, even when inflows are low.

Lancefield’s water can be sourced from:

• local surface water in Garden Hut Reservoir and Lancefield Basin and local bore water (groundwater), treated at the Lancefield Water Filtration Plant. Local water supplies are not fluoridated.
• Romsey water supplies, treated at the Romsey Water Filtration Plant (not fluoridated)
• Rosslynne Reservoir, treated at the Rosslynne Water Filtration Plant, near Gisborne (fluoridated), and
• the Melbourne supply system (fluoridated).

• how water is treated in your system.

Sewage

Lancefield’s sewage is treated at the Romsey Recycled Water Plant.

Recycled water

Romsey Recycled Water Plant produces Class C recycled water.

The recycled water is used to irrigate local farms, sportsfields and recreation areas.
