Toolamba’s reticulated water supply is sourced from the Goulburn River, and is treated at the Shepparton Water Treatment Plant. The treated water is piped from Shepparton via Mooroopna, and is sent to the Toolamba ground level storage tank at the site on the corner of Wren St and Daunt St. Water is then transferred into the elevated tank and the final stage of treatment takes place. Booster pumps currently transfer water to supply customers.
A condition assessment has shown that due to ageing the elevated tank requires removal.
A range of other upgrade works will be undertaken on the water treatment plant site to accommodate the elevated tank removal - these include upgrade to the booster pump and dosing systems and a new standby generator.
The construction works will begin in early 2020 and could take up to six months to complete.
Customers may experience a drop in pressure while works are taking place, with improved pressure in the town after the works are completed - construction timeline and other details will be advised closer to the time.
Customers are encouraged to provide feedback on this project or GVW's services on 1800 45 45 00.
The elevated tank at Toolamba Water Treatment Plant will soon be removed
