**Barwon Water** (full name **Barwon Region Water Corporation**) is a government owned [statutory authority](/source/Statutory_authority) that controls much of the water system in [Geelong](/source/Geelong), [Victoria](/source/Victoria_(Australia)), [Australia](/source/Australia) including the [reservoirs](/source/Reservoir), and the [sewerage](/source/Sanitary_sewer) and [drainage system](/source/Drainage) that services the city and surrounding districts. With a service area covering approximately 8100 square kilometres, the boundaries are [Little River](/source/Little_River%2C_Victoria) in the north, the [Bellarine Peninsula](/source/Bellarine_Peninsula) in the east, [Meredith](/source/Meredith%2C_Victoria) and [Cressy](/source/Cressy%2C_Victoria) in the north, and [Apollo Bay](/source/Apollo_Bay%2C_Victoria) to the south-west.[1]

The organisation dates back to 1908 when the **Geelong Municipal Waterworks Trust** was created, and expanded to become the **Geelong Waterworks and Sewerage Trust** in 1910. In 1984 the trust was merged with other local water and sewage authorities to form the **Geelong and District Water Board**, and again restructured to form the **Barwon Region Water Authority** in 1994 (trading as Barwon Water).[2]
