Goulburn Valley Water has had a keen involvement in the IWN and the Champions Program since its inception, with Michael Welk (Asset Management program lead) as the inaugural Champion.

Yarra Valley Water and Melbourne Water held the first of the current series of Champions Roadshows on Monday.

The Roadshows are a chance for the Champions to go into their corporation and present the Intelligent Water Networks’ (IWN) programs, projects and aims.
