Update Thursday 11 June 2026
With the Echuca Water Tower no longer part of Echuca’s water supply, we’re preparing for the next stage – the careful and safe removal of the structure. This is a large and complex project, with works expected to start from Tuesday 9 June and continue through to late-November 2026.
Because of the tower’s location, temporary road closures will be required on parts of High Street and Pakenham Street near the site. These closures are to be in place from Monday 15 June and remain in place until late-November.
Works will be carried out Monday to Friday between 7am and 6pm, with some occasional work on Saturdays between 7am and 3pm. We will limit noise, dust, and inconvenience wherever possible, while keeping our team, contractors, and the community safe.
Pedestrian exclusion zones, traffic management, and temporary road closures will be used to ensure safety.
If you're passing the tower, you may see signage and additional temporary fencing. Please follow any instructions provided to ensure your safety.
What to expect next?
Initial works will involve the removal of nearby power lines and the installation of additional footings at the base of the tower. A freestanding scaffold structure will then be built to assist with the removal of the tower.
