Trust me... I'm pretty familiar with Victorias water and sewer system.

Its a big issue there...people want it but there are some very large hurdles in the way.

In the mean time they are struggling just trying to maintain an adequate fresh water supply and the old pipes and valves.
You seem pretty defensive about Victoria, perhaps you are ashamed of their poor environmental practices.

Plans to treat the sewage are underway and costs look to be around $800 million, with $500 coming from government. You acted like it was an impossible task but its happening.
