Bendigo Water Reclamation Plant - April update

  • Bendigo

We provide regular updates on our Bendigo Water Reclamation Plant in Epsom. Please find the latest update here.

Boat ramp closure – Upper Coliban Reservoir

  • Upper Coliban Reservoir

The Premier Mine Road boat ramp at Upper Coliban Reservoir remains closed as we prepare for reservoir maintenance.

The water level at the reservoir will be gradually reduced over the coming months to allow work to be carried out safely.

All other on-water recreation remains available at the reservoir, including the use of approved watercraft that can be carried to the water.

The Upper Coliban Dam Wall boat ramp is operating as usual.

Cohuna Water Reclamation Plant - lagoon upgrades

  • Cohuna

We are planning important lagoon upgrades at our Cohuna Water Reclamation Plant, to increase capacity and keep pace with future population growth. This includes a new 15-hectare lagoon to be built south of our existing plant. 

Construction began in early 2025. Click here for more information.

Echuca Water Tower repairs

  • Echuca

We are planning further maintenance at the Echuca Water Tower.

As part of routine inspections last year, we identified loose material on the outside of the tower, within the perimeter of the property, which requires removal and repair. Temporary fencing and/or scaffolding remains in place for safety.

We are working closely with Campaspe Shire and are communicating regularly with those in the surrounding area. 

There is no impact to Echuca's drinking water supply. 

The tower provides water pressure to the surrounding water network in Echuca via gravity. It is a critical part of Echuca's water network. 

First constructed in 1915, the water tower is a piece of historic infrastructure that requires continual inspections, maintenance and repairs as it ages. We inspect the tower every six months. 

Any repairs or maintenance will also be carried out carefully to ensure there is no alteration to the existing appearance of the tower. 

More history about the tower can be found here.
