29 October 2024 update:
We are completing essential odour management works at the Bendigo Water Reclamation Plant.
This work will focus on key infrastructure involved in processing waste, called Autothermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion system (ATADs), which are an important part of the treatment process.
These works will reduce the potential for odours from the Bendigo plant impacting the surrounding community.
Works will take approximately two months to complete and will be carried out between 7am and 5pm from Monday to Sunday, weather permitting.
The works will include draining and cleaning the ATAD tanks used to turn wastewater sludge into biosolids. This is expected to take two weeks – one week to drain the tanks and another to clean them. Odours may increase during this period.
Two ATAD tanks will undergo rehabilitation and we will also perform maintenance on the ventilation and odour treatment systems.
We will take precautions to minimise odour and continue to monitor odour at the plant and surrounding lagoons as part of our regular activities.
Nearby neighbours may notice additional noise and increased traffic at the plant. Sewer services will not be impacted.
For more information or to report an odour by calling us on 1300 363 200. Odour issues can also be reported through an online form at connect.coliban.com.au/bendigo-wrp-upgrade-project
