About Us

Serving the communities of East Gippsland.

We serve an area of 21,000 square kilometres in the far south east of Victoria, which boasts some of Australia’s most diverse and spectacular scenery and a population of around 49,422 people.

Our service area extends east from Lindenow, through to the region’s capital Bairnsdale, the holiday centres of Paynesville and Lakes Entrance, on to the wilderness coast and Mallacoota near the New South Wales border. It also serves as far north as Dinner Plain in the High Country of the Victorian Alps.

We have nine separate water supply systems that serve 27 communities of East Gippsland and eleven water recycling systems that serve 20 of our communities.

There are many agencies that work together to manage water resources in Gippsland. To learn more, see the Who Does What in Water booklet.
