Front gate – Construction work on our front gate is complete and speed restrictions on Howard Street have been removed.

Our usual main entrance has re-opened and our temporary entrance, opposite Bowles Road, has closed.

Odour update – Efforts to reduce odour at our plant continue.

Refurbishment works have been completed in one of our two biofilters. In the coming months we will refurbish the other biofilter.

We are in the process of trialling a different odour suppression system to help reduce and control odour. This trial will be conducted at our brine lagoon.

We have an odour expert visiting to complete monitoring at the plant.

Upcoming works – Cleaning, inspection and refurbishment works on the ATADs system will be done in the coming months. This should help reduce odour in this part of the treatment process.

Our existing solids handling system will undergo a major refurbishment in the coming months to help improve our plant’s reliability.

You can learn more about how we manage odour at the Bendigo Water Reclamation Plant, and how the plant operates, here.

We encourage you to call us on 1300 363 200 to report odour. The more we receive these reports, the more we can build a picture of the areas of our plant that need the most urgent attention.

Our next update will be on Monday 6 September 2024.
