Harcourt bushfire support - Relief drinking water

We’re here to support our community following the Harcourt (Ravenswood-Fogartys Gap Road) bushfire. If you’ve been affected, we want to make sure you have access to safe drinking water. You may have emptied your household water tank for firefighting, or it may now contain ash or other contaminants.

If you’re not on town water, you could be eligible for a refill. If you meet the eligibility criteria, fill out this form and we'll be in touch with you to arrange delivery.


Relief drinking water can be supplied when:

  • Supply of drinking water is not met by other relief services and support arrangements
  • The household is not on reticulated (town) water and relies on tank water for domestic use
  • The applicant occupies the property as a primary place of residence
  • Tank water is used for drinking and other domestic purposes
  • Tank water is not used primarily for agriculture, stock water and watering gardens
  • The household’s water tank is contaminated due to the emergency and is located in the impacted area within the region serviced by Coliban Water
  • The household’s application is submitted by the due date where a due date is set by the program.
