Industry Water Connection Guide
The Industry Water Connection Guide supports new and emerging industrial and commercial businesses seeking access to large volumes of water in Victoria.
We work with large water users, such as data centres, to incorporate best-practice water efficient design and supply them with non-potable water, such as recycled water, rather than drinking water, wherever feasible.
We encourage large water users to review the guide and engage with us early using the guide’s ‘high water use data request’ form.
