Coliban Water has installed two new water pumps at the Echuca Water Treatment Plant, increasing the town’s water security.
The new pumps will provide a back-up system for the two pumps currently serving the community.
As the region heads into the height of summer, the new pumps will ensure there is a constant flow of water that can be treated and turned into drinking water.
Coliban Water General Manager Operations Julian Bull said the new pumps would strengthen the reliability of Echuca’s water supply.
“The installation of the new pumps, combined with the investment in the Echuca plant and community, mean customers have extra water security in time for summer,” Mr Bull said.
Coliban Water has been hard at work to keep the water systems up to date.
They have recently built two 3.3 megalitre water storage tanks, new high-lift pumps, a new ultraviolet water filtration system and installed a new powdered activated carbon system to improve aesthetics of the treated water.
