Truck movements - Bendigo Water Reclamation Plant
- Epsom
We are beginning the construction of a new aerobic digestor at the Bendigo Water Reclamation Plant as part of the Solids Handling Upgrade project.
This will include pouring a concrete slab and walls from Tuesday 20 October and continuing over the coming months.
Each part of the concrete pour will take one day with time left in between pours to allow for the concrete to cure.
On pour days, you may notice an increase in truck movements along Howard Street, Goynes Road and Scott Street between 6am and 3pm.
The Bendigo Solids Handling Project is an upgrade of on-site facilities to better manage the final by-product of sewage treatment, biosolids. The upgraded Solids Handling Facility is due to be commissioned in 2028.
When complete, the aerobic digestor that forms part of the facility will be the largest of its kind in Australia.

Planned water interruption - Strathfieldsaye
- Strathfieldsaye
We will be carrying out works on a water main in Elkhorn Crescent, Strathfieldsaye, on Thursday 5 November from 9am to 2pm.
During these works some customers will be without water. These customers have been notified.
Before the shutdown, we recommend these customers store enough water for their day. 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.
When supply is restored, you will need to run your taps for a period of time until the water becomes clear.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused. For more information, please call 1300 363 200.

Rural Water Efficiency Project - flora and fauna investigations
- Various locations - rural network
We’re carrying out flora and fauna investigations across our rural supply network between Monday 19 October and Friday 23 October.
Our contractors from SMEC will be working along roadsides and in public areas, assessing vegetation and wildlife patterns and movements. This work will take place in areas that may be considered for pipelines as part of the Rural Water Efficiency Project.
No access to private property will be required, but customers and community members may notice our teams carrying out this work. In some areas, fauna surveys will need to take place at night, so our teams may be walking through these areas between 7pm and 10pm using spotlights to look for animals in trees.
This work is part of a broader program to make our rural network more efficient. Learn more at connect.coliban.com.au/rural-water-efficiency
Boil Water Advisory now lifted - Cohuna
- Cohuna
Your water is safe to drink.
Coliban Water, following consultation with the Department of Health, advises customers that the Boil Water Advisory issued on Wednesday 14 October 2026 is now lifted for Cohuna. The water is safe to drink.
The Boil Water Advisory was issued after a burst water main near the corner of King George Street and Cohuna Island Road on Tuesday evening.
The burst resulted in a water supply interruption for Cohuna customers. A burst water main like this can cause a drop in water pressure and potential ingress into the system, which may compromise the safety of the drinking water.
The Advisory is now lifted after the burst was repaired and flushing completed in the supply system.
Water quality testing has confirmed the water supply is safe to drink.
We recommend customers flush their internal taps for two minutes to draw fresh water into their internal plumbing.
If you have any questions, please call us on 1300 363 200.
