Greater Shepparton’s drinking water security has received a boost, with Goulburn Valley Water beginning to fill its new 36 million litre treated water storage tank for the first time.
The $22.4 million project increases the region’s drinking water storage capacity by 40 per cent, helping support population growth, peak demand periods and supply interruptions.
Located at Goulburn Valley Water’s Florence Street operations centre, the tank is one of Victoria’s largest drinking water storages and forms part of ongoing investment in the region’s future water needs.
Further upgrades at the Welsford Street Water Treatment Plant will be completed before the tank is fully integrated into the network.
