Maintenance – Echuca Water Treatment Plant
- Echuca
We are carrying out planned maintenance at the Echuca Water Treatment Plant, with works now expected to continue until Friday 23 October due to unforeseen delays.
Work is taking place on weekdays between 7am and 6pm and involves trucks removing build-up from onsite lagoons.
Nearby residents may notice increased truck movements, with approximately two to three truck loads per day entering and leaving the site.
A water tanker will be used as needed to help minimise dust on unsealed roads while this work is completed.
We appreciate the community's patience and understanding while we complete this essential maintenance work.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us on 1300 363 200.
Water tank commissioning works - Guildford
- Guildford
We are in the final stages of bringing the Guildford Clear Water Storage Tank online and connecting it to our network.
To improve water security and reliability, we have redesigned the tank, installed new pipework and pressure valves, and upgraded the Fryers Street booster pump station.
The next step is to energise the booster pumps and commission the Guildford Clear Water Storage Tank. Energising the booster pumps is expected to be completed within the next four weeks, with commissioning works to follow.
Once operational, the tank will improve water security for customers in Guildford and Yapeen, provide more consistent water pressure, and help reduce water main bursts and outages.
If you have any questions, please call us on 1300 363 200. For more information, visit https://connect.coliban.com.au/guildford-clear-water-storage-tank

Water Reclamation Plant controlled releases - Kyneton
- Kyneton
We have started controlled releases of recycled water from our Kyneton Water Reclamation Plant into the Campaspe River as of Thursday 4 June.
Releases to the Campaspe River are required to maintain storage levels in the onsite lagoons and are in accordance with flow and quality requirements of our EPA licence. The releases are weather dependent and will likely continue until November.
Under our EPA issued operating licence for the Kyneton Water Reclamation Plant, we make available to the public water quality and flow monitoring. The flow data, available one month in arrears and updated on the 21st of each month, can be viewed here.
