We continue to make odour improvements to our Castlemaine Water Reclamation Plant, and works have now started to recommission our second biofilter.

A contractor has been engaged to remove the old mulch used to assist with filtering before the refurbishment begins.

Our short-term works continue:

• A solution to improve the efficiency of our biofilter beds remains on track to be completed by the end of this month.
• Monitoring continues of biofilter beds.
• New instruments to help us monitor and manage odour continue to be installed.

Our long-term actions are due for completion by the end of February.

Remember to report any odour concerns to us. You can do this through our online form at connect.coliban.com.au/castlemaine-wrp or via the phone, 1300 363 200. For urgent matters, we encourage you to phone us.

The more that we receive these reports, the more we can build a picture of the areas of our plant which need the most urgent attention.

Our next update will be in two weeks, on Friday 2 February.
