South Gippsland Water is an urban water corporation that provides reliable, environmentally sustainable water and wastewater services in the south-eastern region of Victoria. We are fortunate to work across a region of rolling green hills, picturesque coastal areas and passionate communities. Servicing 21 townships and their residents, we operate eight separate water systems and 11 sewerage treatment plants.

Our non-residential customers consist of large and small rural industries including a range of farming and horticultural enterprises and their associated processing plants. We have two internationally-recognised national parks; Tarra-Bulga National Park and Wilsons Promontory National Park. Our coastline is one of the most highly sought-after getaway locations for Melbournians, resulting in our townships, parks and beaches swelling with visitors during summer and holiday periods.
