Truck movements – Epsom to Dunolly
- Epsom and Dunolly
We are desludging one of the lagoons at the Bendigo Water Reclamation Plant in Epsom from October 12 to early 2025.
These works involve clearing out the lagoon and transporting any excess material offsite. This will improve day-to-day operational efficiencies at the plant.
Sludge will be taken our Dunolly Biosolids Base to be dried. Approximately three to five truckloads are planned from Monday to Saturday each week between 7am and 5pm.
Works will shut down over the Christmas and New Year period.
Those in Dunolly who live near the base may notice an increase in truck activity.
Whilst we don’t expect odour to be an issue during these works, there is a minor possibility it could occur.
If you have any concerns regarding this, or wish to report odour, please call us on 1300 363 200 during business hours.
