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 is due to start in early 2025. 

We are contacting those who live near the plant to share information about our plans. More on Connect Coliban here. 

Echuca Water Tower repairs

  • Echuca

We are planning further maintenance work on Echuca Water Tower. As part of our 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 has remained in place since this time to ensure safety, and scaffolding around the tower will also be established in due course. 

We are working closely with Campaspe Shire and those in the immediate vicinity to ensure they’re aware of this update. 

Echuca’s normal drinking water services are not affected.

There will be one planned lane closure in coming weeks whilst we construct a new foundation around the perimeter of the tank to support the proposed scaffolding system. This closure will only be in place for a few days, and dates will be confirmed shortly.

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.
