Riddells Creek

Water

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

Riddells Creek’s water can be sourced from:

• Rosslynne Reservoir, near Gisborne, and treated at the Rosslynne Water Filtration Plant, and
• the Melbourne supply system.

For current information, visit:

• where your water comes from
• how water is treated in your system.

Sewage

Riddells Creek’s sewage is treated at the Riddells Creek Recycled Water Plant to the east of town.

Recycled water

Riddells Creek Recycled Water Plant produces Class C recycled water.

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

Greater Western Water has a licence to discharge excess recycled water volumes to Jacksons Creek under strict conditions set by the Environment Protection Authority.
