Planned water interruption - Huntly
- Huntly
We will be installing a water main extension in Greene Street, Huntly, on Friday 21 August between 9am and 2pm.
During this work some customers will be without water. These customers have been notified.
We recommend impacted customers store enough water for their day prior to the shutdown. When your water is off, your toilet cistern won't refill after you flush. You may want to fill a bucket with water which can be tipped into your toilet for a manual flush.
When supply is restored, you will need to run your taps for a short time until the water becomes clear.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused. For more information, please call 1300 363 200.
Planned works – Kyneton
- Kyneton
We are replacing the flow meter at the Park Valley Tank in Caroline Chisholm Drive, Kyneton on Thursday 20 August and Friday 21 August.
To minimise the impact to customers' water supply, the majority of work will be completed between 10pm and 3am.
You may notice some noise if you're in the area, particularly between 10.00pm and 11pm on Thursday evening when we need to cut a pipe. We have informed nearby residents and will do our best to keep noise to a minimum. We apologise for any inconvenience.
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.
There will be no interruption to your water services during these works. Your water remains safe to drink.

Controlled release of recycled water - Epsom
- Epsom
We have commenced controlled releases of recycled water from the Bendigo Water Reclamation Plant into Bendigo Creek from 8am on Tuesday 11 August 2026.
Recent rainfall has increased inflows to the water reclamation plant, and our on-site lagoons are at capacity. The controlled releases of recycled water will help to make room in our lagoons to ensure the safe and ongoing operation of our plant.
The water being released from the plant is Class B recycled water and is regularly monitored to ensure it is safe for release. Signage has been placed along Bendigo Creek.
We carefully time these releases during high creek flows to minimise environmental impact and to ensure we do not contribute to downstream flooding.
We expect these releases to continue over the next 2 weeks. We’ll keep reviewing this based on weather conditions, passing flows, and inflows into the plant.
We are in contact with the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) regarding these releases.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call us on 1300 363 200.
