Auditor-General’s Report on the Annual Financial Report of the State of Victoria: 2017–18 - Water Entities

Our dashboard is an interactive visualisation tool summarising the financial statement data for all Victorian water entities in financial year 2017-2018.

Water entities provide a range of water distribution and sewage disposal services, including supplying water and sewerage services, managing bulk water storage and looking after specific recreational areas, such as caravan parks.

There are 19 water entities in Victoria, each operating as a standalone business with its own board and responsibility for its own management and performance. The board of each water entity reports to the Minister for Water through the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.

Based on their common characteristics, the 19 water entities are split into three groups—Metropolitan, Regional and Rural.
