Odour update – Bendigo Water Reclamation Plant
- Epsom
We are experiencing odour at the Bendigo Water Reclamation Plant as a result of algae blooms on our brine lagoon.
The lagoon contains brine created at the Recycled Water Factory as part of the treatment process. This brine is high in salt and other compounds.
We are investigating options to decrease the odour. However, it may continue for the next two weeks, or until the weather cools.
