Planned water interruption - Bendigo
- Bendigo
We will be completing works on a water main in Gaol Road, Bendigo, on Thursday 4 June from 2.30pm to 5pm.
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.

Planned works - Castlemaine Water Treatment Plant

When completed, the tank will provide extra water security for the Castlemaine community, who rely on the plant to provide them with drinking water each day.
Works will begin on Saturday 16 May and will continue for about 9 weeks, weather permitting. Works will take place from 7am to 3pm on Saturdays. We may not be required to work every Saturday.
