System Updates and Alerts

Leongatha residents may notice an increased amount of traffic and activity at Leongatha’s Water Treatment Plant over the coming weeks, as we continue our work to upgrade the facility at Harvey’s Road, Ruby.

These works are part of a suite we’ve been working on to upgrade the chlorination system, chlorination controls and disinfection including a new UV (Ultraviolet Light) System. The upgrades will ensure high quality, safe, clean drinking water to the town’s residents into the future.

The works are part of our Price, Services, Future Plan which runs from 2020 to 2023. For more on this plan go to Pricing Review 2020 – South Gippsland Water (sgwater.com.au)

South Gippsland Water is decommissioning the old Poowong Water Treatment Plant, on the Drouin-Korumburra Road. South Gippsland Water is rehabilitating and landscaping the site to make it safe. Works will get underway 10 May and are expected to take around 10 weeks. There will be no impact to Poowong’s water supply, but residents may hear some normal construction noise or increased traffic on local roads. We’re completing the works within business hours to minimise this. For more read the media release.

Bass Coast Council wishes to advise of the commencement of road pavement improvements and lowering of existing sewer pits along Lohr Avenue, Inverloch in May 2021.

Council has appointed SR Excavations Pty Ltd as part of their annual supply contract in partnership with South Gippsland Water under the Road Renewal Program.

This project is about to start week of 10 May 2021 and is anticipated to be completed in seven weeks.
