City West Water’s vision is to be a truly sustainable water business.

City West Water has produced various environmental reports, some in conjunction with other organisations. See below to read the reports in full.

City West Water along with the Environment Protection Authority Victoria recently completed a Life Cycle Assessment of Domestic Clothes Washing as part of our Sustainability Covenant. The aim of the study was to inform potential programs which could assist our residential customers to reduce their environmental impact when washing and drying clothes.

The assessment separated the clothes washing process into three phases: upstream, use and downstream. The upstream phase established the production and delivery of key products and materials. The use phase concentrated on the regular use of equipment by households, recognising resources consumed. The downstream phase identified the disposal and treatment of materials and wastewater.
