Planned water interruption - Huntly
- Huntly
We will be installing water main extension in Delawarr Parade, Huntly, on Thursday 20 August from 9am to 11am.
During this work some customers will be without water. These customers have been notified.
Before the shutdown, we recommend impacted customers store enough water for their day. When your water is off, your toilet cistern won't refill after you flush. You may want to fill a bucket with water which can be tipped into your toilet for a manual flush during the outage.
When supply is restored, you will need to run your taps for a short time until the water becomes clear.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused. For more information, please call 1300 363 200.
Controlled release of recycled water - Epsom
- Epsom
We have commenced controlled releases of recycled water from the Bendigo Water Reclamation Plant into Bendigo Creek from 8am on Tuesday 11 August 2026.
Recent rainfall has increased inflows to the water reclamation plant, and our on-site lagoons are at capacity. The controlled releases of recycled water will help to make room in our lagoons to ensure the safe and ongoing operation of our plant.
The water being released from the plant is Class B recycled water and is regularly monitored to ensure it is safe for release. Signage has been placed along Bendigo Creek.
We carefully time these releases during high creek flows to minimise environmental impact and to ensure we do not contribute to downstream flooding.
We expect these releases to continue over the next 2 weeks. We’ll keep reviewing this based on weather conditions, passing flows, and inflows into the plant.
We are in contact with the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) regarding these releases.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call us on 1300 363 200.
On-water recreation reopens at some reservoirs
- Kyneton, Malmsbury and Harcourt North
The following access points have re-opened as of 13 August 2026 after closing due to recent rainfall and a high-level of flows:
- Lauriston Reservoir
- Upper Coliban Premier Mine Road
The following access points remain closed
- Malmsbury Reservoir
- Upper Coliban Reservoir dam wall
- Barkers Creek Reservoir
These closures help keep the public safe following wet conditions and high amounts of in-flows to the storages.
We appreciate the community's understanding and cooperation while these temporary closures are in place.
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 phone our Customer Support Team on 1300 363 200. For more information, visit https://connect.coliban.com.au/guildford-clear-water-storage-tank.
