This week will see completion of the $4.4 million Echuca West Tanks project.

This project is part of significant investment in the Echuca region, which has enabled growing demand to be addressed whilst improving the town’s water security.

Final testing of the tanks and new booster pump station will take place Monday 21 June 2021, with the connection to our water network on Tuesday 22 June 2021.

This will conclude a year’s worth of construction work at the Wilkinson Drive site, with the project to benefit to more than 3,700 properties.

Customers in the area may notice changes to their water pressure as the new system is connected and switched on.

The real benefit from these tanks will be seen during the peak water demand period in summer. This is when water pressure in the area will be more consistent, with less fluctuations.

Echuca has experienced significant growth since the original water tower was built 130 years ago. The western side of Echuca is predicted to host 75 per cent of that future growth.
