Silvan Reservoir is the heart of the water transfer system, supplying most parts of metropolitan Melbourne. It stores water transferred from the Upper Yarra, O’Shannassy and Thomson reservoirs and other creeks in the Yarra catchment.
The water from Silvan Reservoir flows out to service reservoirs across suburban Melbourne, typically spanning Somerton to Emerald. When mixed with water from Sugarloaf Reservoir, water from Silvan is supplied even further out west to suburbs such as St Albans and Werribee.
Silvan Reservoir can transfer water to Cardinia and Greenvale reservoirs. Water can also be pumped from Cardinia Reservoir to Silvan Reservoir, enabling desalinated water to be supplied to other parts of Melbourne and surrounds.
