Boil Water Advisory now lifted - Guildford (including Yapeen)
- Guildford (including Yapeen)
Tuesday 6 May 4.30pm
Your water is safe to drink.
Coliban Water, following consultation with the Department of Health, advises customers that the Boil Water Advisory issued on 3 May 2025 is now lifted for Guildford and Yapeen. The water is safe to drink.
The Boil Water Advisory was issued after a burst water main in Donkey Gully Road, Campbells Creek. This main supplies drinking water to Guildford and Yapeen. The burst resulted in a supply interruption for some Guildford and Yapeen customers and very low water pressure for others which may have caused ingress into the system and compromised the safety of the drinking water.
The Advisory is now lifted after the repair of the burst water main and flushing of 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.

Blue-green algae - Upper Coliban Reservoir
- Upper Coliban Reservoir
Due to increased levels of blue-green algae in the water, Upper Coliban Reservoir is now closed for on-water recreation.
The use of kayaks, canoes and small portable craft is not permitted.
Please avoid making contact with the water. The water is unsafe for humans or animals to consume. Due to this we also advise against shoreline fishing at this time.
We have increased our water quality testing program to monitor the situation more closely.
