The Echuca water supply
system serves a population of about 14,000 people in addition to a range of
commercial and industrial uses. It's a growing region with expanding needs, and we're working to ensure our infrastructure has capacity to serve the community.
In 2023 a significant $10 million upgrade project at the Echuca Water Treatment Plant was completed.
The works included the installation of two steel water storage tanks able to hold 3.3 megalitres of water along with new pumps, a pump station and a new ultraviolet water filtration system.
The completion of the four-year project has improved capacity, storage and disinfection at the plant, whilst ensuring Echuca’s security of supply. The increased treatment capacity will also help address growing demand in the region.
