Echuca Water Tower repairs

• Echuca
• Ongoing until further notice

We are carrying out further maintenance at the Echuca Water Tower.

As part of routine inspections last year, we identified loose material on the outside of the tower, requiring removal and repair. Scaffolding has recently been erected around the tower so that our team can carry out these works. Temporary fencing remains in place for public safety.

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

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

The tower plays a critical role, providing water pressure, via gravity, to the surrounding water network in Echuca. Repairs will be carried out carefully to ensure minimal change to the existing appearance of the tower. 

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. 

More history about the tower can be found here.
