Keeping Visitors Safe
Melbourne Water is committed to keeping all visitors to our sites safe. We reserve the right to cancel a booked tour, and ask individuals or groups to leave the site immediately if any action or behaviour is deemed unsafe.
Visitors to tour sites are asked to strictly follow these safety rules while on-site:
- Wear flat sole, enclosed shoes at all times - sandals and thongs are not permitted on-site
- While on tour, stay with your tour guide at all times
- Refrain from climbing on and/or over railings
- Refrain from touching any machinery or equipment
- Refrain from running
Both the Western and Eastern Treatment Plant are sewage treatment plants. Before and during the treatment process, sewage contains many micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses and parasites.
It is therefore necessary that all visitors:
- Avoid contact with sewage and sewage related products, while on-site.
- Wash your hands before leaving the plant or eating.
- Refrain from eating or drinking during the tour
- Wash any contaminated clothing separate to your normal washing
- Ensure that any open wounds are covered
- Report to any minor cuts or abrasions that occur while onsite to Melbourne Water
Please wear appropriate clothing for all weather conditions as activities are conducted outdoors.
For school groups, teachers and accompanying adults are expected to actively supervise students at all times, and at no point, leave the students unsupervised. Supervision and discipline is the school's responsibility.
