While extra expenses over the festive season and summer holidays may cause some strain on the family budget, Gippsland Water is reminding customers of the many easy ways to pay their water and sewerage bills as they come in.
Gippsland Water has reported a sewer spill to the Environment Protection Authority. The spill of domestic waste water took place within Energy Australia’s mining boundary adjacent to Sand Wash Road approximately three kilometres east of Yallourn North. The spill has been contained and the sewer line repaired and reinstated. The spill poses no threat to the community or the surrounding environment.
Traralgon will benefit from a $2.8M investment as Gippsland Water delivers a project to prevent sewer backflows in the west end of town.
With hot temperatures expected over the coming days, Gippsland Water is reminding customers who may face bush or grass fires this summer that household water supply systems should not be relied upon in times of emergency.
Gippsland Water supplies fresh clean drinking water to more than 70,000 customers, and wastewater services to more than 63,000 customers across an area of more than 5,000 square kilometres. It maintains a $1 billion infrastructure network, which includes more than 2,000 kilometres of water mains, 15 water treatment plants, over 1,700 kilometres of sewer mains and 14 wastewater treatment plants.
