Melbourne Water has cut the volume of groundwater pumped through the lakes annually from 730 megalitres to 20 megalitres.

These lakes were once so clean you could swim in them. Now they are fetid – and residents are being told to pay to fix them

Once swimmable, the Quiet Lakes are a “seething mass of blue-green algae” due to 30 years of Melbourne Water failures say residents who live by the toxic water.
