Harcourt Modernised System - water outage
- Harcourt
Due to an asset failure within the Barkers Creek Pump Station, water has been drained from the Harcourt Modernised System network.
We anticipate the system to be back online mid-next week once parts are sourced and installed.
We are working to make the necessary repairs and apologise for the inconvenience.

Planned water interruption – Laanecoorie
- Laanecoorie
We are replacing the flow meter at the Laanecoorie Water Treatment Plant from Monday 22 June to Tuesday 23 June.
To complete these works, there will be a planned one-hour water supply interruption for Laanecoorie customers.
This interruption will happen on 22 June from 11.30pm to 12.30am on 23 June to minimise impact to customers.
A flow meter is a device that measures the volume and speed of water moving through a pipe. The current flow meter is at the end of its life and needs to be replaced.
Residents may notice noise during these works, we will do our best to keep this to a minimum.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
Planned water interruption - Maiden Gully
- Maiden Gully
We will complete a temporary shutdown of a water main on the Calder Highway between Smiths Road and Edwards Road on Monday 22 June from 8am to noon.
This shutdown will allow for contractor works to take place.
Impacted customers have been notified. We recommend these customers store sufficient water for your day’s need prior to the shutdown.
When supply is restored, customers will need to run your taps for a period of time until the water becomes clear.
Minor traffic management will be in place.
Water network change - Echuca
- Echuca
We are making a change in the water network in Echuca near the Fehring Lane area on Tuesday 23 June from 10am to 2pm.
To do this we will be opening a valve that has been closed for some time. When the valve is opened, natural sediment may be disturbed, resulting in discoloured water. We will minimise this by flushing the pipes in nearby streets.
Impacted customers have been notified but some customers may notice discoloured water for a short period after the works. If you notice any changes to the look, taste or odour of your drinking water, run your taps until the water runs clear.
There should be no interruption to your water supply and your water remains safe to drink.
Making this change will help improve the efficiency and resilience of the network by allowing the water to circulate more efficiently.
If you have any questions please call 1300 363 200.
Water Reclamation Plant controlled releases - Kyneton
- Kyneton
We have started controlled releases of recycled water from our Kyneton Water Reclamation Plant into the Campaspe River as of Thursday 4 June.
Releases to the Campaspe River are required to maintain storage levels in the onsite lagoons and are in accordance with flow and quality requirements of our EPA licence. The releases are weather dependent and will likely continue until September.
Under our EPA issued operating licence for the Kyneton Water Reclamation Plant, we make available to the public water quality and flow monitoring. The flow data, available one month in arrears and updated on the 21st of each month, can be viewed here.
