Taste and Odour - Goornong
- Goornong
Wednesday 9 July
Goornong customers
The taste and odour issue some customers recently reported has now resolved. We’d like to thank you for your patience while we managed this issue, and apologise for any inconvenience caused.
The issue as caused by compounds in the raw water quality entering our water treatment plant. The process of treating raw water and turning it into safe drinking water is complex. A number of naturally occurring substances can impact the taste and odour of treated drinking water, even in the tiniest amounts. This is what happened in Goornong.
In response, we adjusted the treatment process to remove these compounds. We also completed a targeted flushing campaign of the water mains. We also continued to test and assess the water quality to ensure our plan to fix the problem was working.
We’re confident your water should now be back to normal. However, if you are still experiencing problems, we want to know about it. You can call us on 1300 363 200 with these details.
Once again, our apologies and thank you for your patience while we managed this unexpected issue.
Water mains cleaning - Epsom and Huntly
- Bendigo
We’ll be carrying out our next round of water mains cleaning in Epsom and Huntly until Saturday 26 July.
There has been a change to the original schedule sent to customers in the mail. The revised date and time for the planned water supply interruption will be provided via a letterbox drop this week.
We use a technique called ‘air scouring’, which pushes a mix of compressed air and water through the pipes from fire hydrants in your street.
The mains cleaning is in response to the water discoloration experienced by some Huntly customers in February 2025.
If you are in the area, you may experience a short water supply interruption. Impacted customers will be notified before the interruption to allow time to prepare.
Before cleaning work starts in your street, remember to turn your water meter off at the ‘stop tap’ to prevent any sediment entering the pipes in your home. Your stop tap is located on the street side of your water meter.
Click here for more information about your stop tap, the water mains cleaning process, and other useful tips.
If you have questions or require assistance you can call us on 1300 363 200.
