Emergency Water Supply Points
dataset:
EWSP
Victoria has a network of about 300 emergency water supply points (EWSPs). The EWSPs provide water carting for emergency stock and domestic purposes, during severe dry seasonal conditions and surface water scarcity. Some sites are also equipped to supply water to firefighting vehicles.
The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) oversees the network of emergency water supply points.
The EWSPs are managed by various state agencies, including local councils and urban and rural water corporations. These state agencies are referred to as the EWSP Manager for maintenance, access and use issues, and for further information.
There are three main types of EWSPs accessible to the public for water carting:
- Council bores - access groundwater.
- Urban standpipes - are connected to reticulated potable water systems. These are managed by urban water corporations and access is subject to water availability. A permit may be needed and costs may apply as they are considered a commercial use.
- Rural standpipes - access channels or reservoirs. These are managed by rural water corporations
