We will be testing the water pressure in Harpers Lane and Kyneton-Springhill Road near the Tilwinda Views estate in Kyneton on Wednesday 8 October.
We will be on site between 12.30pm from 3pm with the test taking place at approximately 1.30pm. During the testing some customers may experience intermittent water outages or low pressure for up to one hour. Impacted customers will be notified.
This testing is in response to booster pumps failing when water carters draw water from fire hydrants too quickly.
A booster pump station helps push water through the network to customers. When it fails it results in low water pressure for customers.
To test the booster pump, we will mimic a water carter taking water from a hydrant at various pressures – much like a CFA tanker would in an emergency.
Some traffic management will be in place near points where crews are working.
