Temporarily bolstering our water storages in Buchan with carted water…

A telephone survey of customers with Gippsland’s four water corporations is being carried out over the next four weeks.

Customers are urged to carefully consider their water supply when planning for a bushfire and not to rely solely on mains water during a major fire event.

Customers in Nicholson, Johnsonville, Swan Reach, Metung, Tambo Bluff and Kalimna stand to benefit from a new six-million-litre water storage tank.

Work commences mid-November to realign a section of water main along the Princes Highway at Swan Reach.

There is still time to submit an application for Round 2 of the East Gippsland Water-funded Native Vegetation and Habitat Creation grants.
