Echuca Water Tower repairs

• Echuca
• Friday 14 April 2023 until further notice

As part of our routine inspection of Echuca Water Tower carried out, we have identified loose material on the outside of the tower, within the perimeter of the property, which requires removal and repair. 

Temporary fencing has now been erected around the tower and limit access to ensure public safety. 

We will be undertaking a risk assessment and short-term works to improve immediate safety, with further inspections planned for mid-May. However, the temporary fencing may be in place for several months as we investigate long-term solutions.

We are working closely with Campaspe Shire and community in the immediate vicinity to ensure they’re aware of this update. 

Echuca’s normal drinking water services are not affected and there are no road closures planned at this stage.

First constructed in 1915, the water tower is a piece of historic infrastructure that requires continual inspections, maintenance and repairs as it ages. We inspect the tower every six months.
