Water main maintenance - Bendigo
- McIvor Road, Bendigo
On Thursday 5 February we’re completing water main repair works on McIvor Road, Bendigo between 10am and 2pm.
Works will result in a planned 4 hour water supply interruption for some customers in the area - impacted customers will be notified directly.
The area affected is along Lyttleton Terrace and the section of McIvor Highway until Abbott Street, Bendigo.
We’ll complete these works as quickly as possible to minimise any interruption time.
| Your stop tap |
Before the works, we strongly recommend you turn your stop tap off at your water meter. Once your interruption time ends, you can turn your stop tap back on. |
| What if I can’t find my stop tap or turn it off? | If you can’t turn your stop tap off, that’s ok, you can leave it on, however please do not use any water during your interruption time. If your stop tap is left on, you may notice discoloured water or air in your pipes for a short period after the works. Running your tap for a few minutes should clear this. |
| During the works | We recommend you store enough water for your household to use during the interruption. When your water is off, your toilet cistern won’t refill after you flush, so you may want to fill a bucket with water which can be tipped into your toilet. |
| Water quality | These works can cause temporary changes to the look of your drinking water. If this occurs, run your taps until the water runs clear. If problems persist, please contact us. Your water remains safe to drink. |
We thank you for your patience during these works.

Caledonia Gully Reservoir, Argyle - Water release
- Argyle and Heathcote
The Caledonia Gully Reservoir in Argyle is currently unable to be used to meet the demands of our Heathcote Water Treatment Plant. This is due to a raw water network issue we are investigating. As a result there will be a controlled discharge of excess water from the Caledonia Gully Reservoir spillway until further notice.
This release is unavoidable and will result in increased flows in the Caledonia Gully Creek system.
There is no impact to customers as the Heathcote Pipeline is being used to meet the increased demands.
Further updates to follow.
Boat ramp closed to larger vessels – Upper Coliban Reservoir
- Upper Coliban Reservoir
The Premier Mine Road boat ramp at the Upper Coliban Reservoir will be closed from 5 January 2026 to larger vessels that cannot be carried to the water.
This is due to releases from the Upper Coliban Reservoir that will reduce water levels in the boat ramp area.
Vessels that can be carried to the water – such as kayaks and canoes – are still permitted to use the reservoir.
This restriction will remain in place until water levels increase at the reservoir.
Please note a blue-green algae alert remains in place at the Upper Coliban Reservoir. Visitors should avoid contact with the water.
