Saving water tips
Being more efficient with water will lower your bills, help the environment and help our storage levels - Saving water
The coastal towns of Apollo Bay, Marengo and Skenes Creek are supplied with drinking water from the Barham River in the southern Otway Ranges.
A pumping station at the river transfers water to the nearby Apollo Bay basin, before continuing on to the Marengo basin. From here, water is transferred via a pipeline to a nearby treatment plant, where it is filtered and disinfected.
Note: The Marengo Basin is being drawn down until it is empty, to allow planned maintenance works to be carried out from March 2025.
