Blue-green algae - Upper Coliban Reservoir
- Upper Coliban Reservoir
We are experiencing increased levels of blue-green algae in the water at Upper Coliban Reservoir.
The reservoir remains open to the public and for on-water recreation. If you are visiting the reservoir, please avoid making contact with the water. The water is unsafe for humans or animals to drink.
We have increased our water quality testing program to monitor the situation more closely.

A fault at the Korong Vale Water Treatment Plant that impacted the supply of drinking water to customers in Korong Vale and Wedderburn in the early hours of Wednesday 16 April has been repaired.
Customers in these communities should no longer be noticing any changes, and any previous pressure fluctuations should have now stopped.
We will continue water carting until Thursday 17 April to supplement drinking water supply ahead of the Easter long weekend.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused as a result of this issue.

Old water tower removal - Pyramid Hill
- Pyramid Hill
We're carrying out work at the Pyramid Hill Water Tower site on Tuesday 15 and Wednesday 16 April. This site is located on Railway Avenue, Pyramid Hill and is just south of the Pyramid Hill Water Treatment Plant.
Work will involve removing the old water tower structure, which is no longer in use. The site hosts a newer, larger water tower that stores and supplies water to the town - this water tower will remain in place.
Removal of the old, disused water tower will not cause any water supply disruptions for customers. Your water remains safe to drink.
Noise and dust from the site during removal of the old tower will be kept to a minimum. Pyramid Hill residents may see some machinery at the site during the works.
This tower removal is part of a larger program of works we're carrying out across our region to remove decommissioned and disused assets to create safer work sites for our crews and contractors.
