Plant update – 14 May

13 May 2024

Noise update

A new noise meter has been purchased to help us continue onsite monitoring at the plant.

The results of our recent noise logging activity at nearby homes will be provided to Coliban Water next week. We will share a summary of our findings with you as soon as we can.

We are also completing maintenance on a newly-installed blower to ensure it will work to the best of its ability. We continue to research and trial different types of blowers that produce less noise.

It is taking a little longer than we expected to appoint a contractor to build acoustic enclosures around our blowers. We hope to provide an update soon on which contractor has been appointed.

Odour update

Refurbishment of our existing biofilters is continuing, which includes replacement of mulch in the biofilter beds.

We are preparing to undertake maintenance work on our aeration tanks later this month. This work has potential for odours, and we will provide an update to the community prior to work starting.

If you experience noise or odour

Please continue to report noise or odour to us so we can track the impacts in real-time. Please call us on 1300 363 200.
