Approved products and materials

Barwon Water has adopted the approved products catalogue developed by Greater Western Water, with some limitations and exceptions – defined in our supplementary catalogues below.

There are no supplementary catalogues for the following:

  • Meters and ancillary components: all products listed with Greater Western Water are also approved for use at Barwon Water.
  • Sewerage pumping stations: none of the products approved by Greater Western Water are approved for use at Barwon Water. For requirements for sewerage pumping stations, view the supplement to the WSAA Sewerage Pumping Station Code of Australia (PDF 448.4 KB).
