We’ve upgraded the raw water supply to Laanecoorie Water Treatment Plant, securing a more reliable drinking water supply for residents of this region.
Our contractor, Simpson Construction, built two new 1 ML concrete tanks standing 4.5m high and 20m in diameter, and a pump station housing two raw water pumps.
These new tanks now receive and store water from the South West Loddon Pipeline, providing better quality raw water to the plant.
Previously the plant sourced raw water from the Loddon River.
At times this was of poor quality, meaning our plant needed to work harder to turn raw water into drinking water.
Our plant supplies drinking water to Bealiba, Dunolly, Laanecoorie and Tarnagulla.
Customers may notice some slight changes to the look, taste or odour of their water supply when the switch is made to the South West Loddon Pipeline.
The drinking water will remain safe to drink.
We will contact residents prior to this change.
