January extreme weather event
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR EUROA and VIOLET TOWN RESIDENTS
Thursday 8 January 6.30pm
Today’s extreme weather conditions resulted in a power outage at the Euroa Water Treatment Plant. We were unable to treat water for drinking for several hours.
We have a generator onsite and are producing treated water again.
However, we are concerned that if current high water demand does not reduce, we will not be able to recover our storages to meet demand tomorrow.
Please be mindful of your water use. For example, you could turn off your automatic watering system tonight.
Thanks for your understanding.
Longwood and Longwood East fire
UPDATE: 8 JANUARY 2026
Urgent information for Longwood and Longwood East residents: Current weather conditions are impacting the amount of drinking water available.
Current high temperatures and resulting fire and power outages are impacting the amount of drinking water available from the Longwood water supply.
As a precaution you should reserve drinking water. You should ensure you have at least 10 litres of drinking water available for each person in your household for 48 hours. Use the bathtub, tanks, buckets and any large storage containers available to reserve drinking water.
We are currently tankering treated drinking water to supplement supply.
Treated water remains safe to drink – this is a temporary availability issue.
We will continue to provide updates.
