Bridgewater Water Treatment Plant - tank construction
- Bridgewater
We are constructing two new clear water storage tanks and a new booster pump station at the Bridgewater Water Treatment Plant in Pondage Road.
Our crews will be working this weekend - 6 and 7 December - between 7am and 1pm to install pumps and pipework at the new booster pump station.
People who live near the plant site may notice vehicles accessing the site and some noise and dust as a result of the works – our contactors will work to keep this to a minimum.
When completed, these tanks will replace the current Inglewood Clear Water Storage Basin located north of Inglewood and make our water delivery to the area more reliable and efficient.
Please contact us on 1300 363 200 for further information.

Echuca Water Tower repairs
- Echuca
Update: Friday 21 November
Work is continuing at the Echuca Water Tower, with the following work to be completed in the next two to three weeks:
- Patching and repairs to the rendered exterior.
- Further structural assessments and surveying to guide longer-term repairs and maintenance.
We will evaluate the ongoing need for scaffolding based on the results of these assessments. We expect the scaffolding will be removed in the coming few months.
Safety signage, additional fencing, and the temporary footpath around the tower will remain in place.
There will be no interruption to your water supply, and we'll be making every effort to minimise noise and disruption.
Update: Friday 14 November
Today we will begin removing the shade cloth attached to the scaffolding at the Echuca Water Tower. There will be additional fencing and a temporary footpath around the tower for pedestrians use.
Additional safety signage is in place alerting the community to beware of any falling debris given the age of the tower.
Previous updates
We are carrying out further maintenance at the Echuca Water Tower.
As part of routine inspections last year, we identified loose material on the outside of the tower requiring removal and repair. Scaffolding has recently been erected around the tower so our team can safely carry out the required work. Temporary fencing remains in place for public safety.
We are working closely with Campaspe Shire and communicating regularly with those in the surrounding area.
There is no impact to Echuca's drinking water supply.
The tower plays a critical role, providing water pressure, via gravity, to the surrounding water network in Echuca. Repairs will be carried out carefully to ensure minimal change to the existing appearance of the tower.
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.
More history about the tower can be found here.
