Yarra Valley Water has signed new agreements with two service partners to deliver water and wastewater services across its network.
The water utility signed a new nine-year agreement with Abergeldie and Service Stream which will provide works that form part of Yarra Valley Water’s Reliability Program.
This includes planned inspections, maintenance and renewals of water and sewer networks. As part of program, the partners will rehabilitate up to 50km of sewer and water infrastructure every year.
Yarra Valley Water distribution and growth general manager Bridie Fennessy said the agreements have the capacity to be extended up to 12 years.
“We’re excited to move forward with the Abergeldie Complex Infrastructure and Service Stream teams as we work together on our Reliability Program over the next decade,” Fennessy said.
“These new long-term partnerships reflect our commitment to deliver safe, reliable and affordable water and sewerage services, as well as providing a timely response if something goes wrong.”
Fennessy said the partnership would ensure the delivery of Yarra Valley Water’s Delivery Reliability Program.
“Melbourne is consistently ranked as one of the world’s most liveable cities, and water is a vital part of our everyday lives,” she said.
“Through these partnerships, we’ll continue renewing and replacing ageing water and sewerage pipes and conducting ongoing maintenance across our network infrastructure.”
