Reservoir Inspections and Cleaning

All major water supply storages (reservoirs) above and below ground are inspected and cleaned by certified divers as part of ongoing water quality and infrastructure maintenance.

Overview

Divers vacuum the inside of the reservoirs, removing any debris and inspect all internal water supply fittings.

Reservoir cleaning by divers is one method for reducing discoloured water incidents. Others include flushing pipes and asset renewal.

Timing

The work is completed every three years.
