Sewer main cleaning - Marong and Myers Flat
- Marong and Myers Flat
We are cleaning the sewer on Allies Road between Calder Highway Marong and Hermitage Road Myers Flat on Monday 25 August.
To do this we are using a technique called ice pigging. Ice pigging is a cleaning technique where a thick ice slurry (a mixture of semi-solid ice and water) is pushed through the main and removed through a valve. This type of cleaning method is environmentally friendly and uses minimal water.
Nearby residents may notices some noise during the works and see two trucks working at different points along Allies Road.
Some traffic management may be in place.
There is no impact to sewer services.
If you have any questions, please phone 1300 363 200.
Water network maintenance - Spring Gully
- Spring Gully
We are making a change to our water network configuration in Osbourne Street and Elizabeth Street in Spring Gully on Thursday 28 August between 9am and 1pm.
There will be no interruption to your water supply but there could be some discolouration as the water flow recirculates and disturbs any natural sediment in the pipes. Affected customers have been notified.
We recommend affected customers store sufficient water for the day prior to the shutdown.
If any discolouration occurs, run your taps until the water runs clear. If problems persist, please contact us. Your water remains safe to drink.
Sewer Spill - Strathdale
- Strathdale
A blocked sewer main has caused a sewer spill at McIvor Road, Strathdale, Bendigo. Wastewater has spilled into the stormwater drains and impacted the Harcourt Dog Park.
Our crews have repaired the fault and cleaned the area, but further testing is required before the park can be deemed fit for the public. Please keep an eye on the City of Greater Bendigo communications channels for the latest updates.
We have reported the overflow to the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) Victoria. Normal sewer services have not been impacted.
It is a good reminder that we all need to be mindful of what we flush down the toilet and tip down the drain.
Only flush pee, poo and toilet paper. Feminine hygiene products, wipes, tissues, and fats should NOT go down the drain – they create costly blockages like this one that has forced the closure of the dog park.
Remember: you can report sewer spills to us at any time by calling us on 1300 363 200.
