Tank maintenance works - Big Hill
- Big Hill
We are completing maintenance works to a clear water storage tank in Big Hill from Monday 3 August to Wednesday 12 August.
To do this, the tank has been isolated. This may result in some customers in the Big Hill and Kangaroo Flat areas noticing a slightly lower water pressure.
Your water remains safe to drink. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Following the works we will recommission the tank and complete testing to ensure water quality.
Once works are concluded, if you notice any changes to the appearance or taste of your water, please get in touch with us.
If you have any questions, please phone our Customer Support Team on 1300 363 200.
Pump station works - Guildford
- Guildford
We are in the final stages of bringing the Guildford Clear Water Storage Tank online and connecting it to our network.
To improve water security and reliability for our customers we have redesigned the tank and installed new inlet and outlet pipes, new pressure valves and water mains. We are also in the final stages of upgrading the Fryers Street booster pump station.
Our crews will be working on the booster pump station in Fryers Street from 24 July to 14 August ahead of commissioning the tank in Havelock Street in August.
By completing these works and using the localised tank, water pressure in Guildford and Yapeen can be eased, putting less stress on water mains and resulting in a more consistent pressure for customers.
Redesigning and using the tank to supply Guildford will mean improved water security for customers in Guildford and Yapeen, with more appropriate water pressure and fewer bursts and water outages.
A more consistent pressure for customers may mean a slight reduction in pressure for some people.
If you have any questions, please phone our Customer Support Team on 1300 363 200. For more information visit connect.coliban.com.au/guildford-clear-water-storage-tank
Upper Coliban Reservoir – access point closure

Upper Coliban Reservoir has reached capacity and is currently spilling.
To help keep the community safe, the dam wall access point off Kyneton-Springhill Road is now closed.
For your safety, boats and other watercraft must not be launched from the dam wall area while spilling is occurring.
On-water recreation and boating can continue to be accessed via the Premier Mine Road boat ramp.
We will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates if there are any changes.
Safety reminders
- Do not launch boats or other watercraft from the dam wall area.
- Use the Premier Mine Road boat ramp for boating access.
- Follow all safety signage and directions.
We thank the community for helping keep this area safe while the reservoir is spilling.
Commissioning works – Spring Gully Reservoir
- Spring Gully
We will be commissioning the new recycled water storage tank at Spring Gully Reservoir between 8 July and 17 August.
During this work, nearby residents may notice additional extra traffic.
Services will not be affected during this period.
Once operational, the 2-megalitre tank will store Class A recycled water supplied from our Recycled Water Factory at the Bendigo Water Reclamation Plant in Epsom.
It will also increase storage capacity and reliability across our recycled water network.

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.
