Responsibility for service provision

Yarra Valley Water

Yarra Valley Water is responsible for providing shared infrastructure assets (such as headworks, treatment plants, pumping stations, trunk mains and sewers) with sufficient capacity in accordance with a predetermined development plan.

Developers

Developers are responsible for:

  • Providing reticulation assets and the cost of connecting those assets to Yarra Valley Water’s infrastructure
  • Paying the costs and building the sewerage network to ensure a new multi lot development is removed from a combined sewerage drain.
  • Paying the costs associated with bringing forward the provision of shared infrastructure assets, if they are required ahead of Yarra Valley Water’s asset development sequence
