Project overview

Goulburn Valley Water is upgrading its water storage infrastructure with the construction of a new 36-megalitre clear water storage tank at the Shepparton Operations Centre, located at 77 Florence Street.

This important addition will increase clear water storage capacity by more than 40%, enhancing water supply security for customers across Shepparton, Mooroopna and surrounding towns.

The project is part of long-term planning to ensure the region has a reliable supply of drinking water into the future, especially during high demand periods or emergencies. The upgrade will benefit both residential and industrial customers, supporting population growth and regional development through to 2050.

Construction will be carried out by Leed Engineering and Construction, beginning in August 2025, and is expected to be complete by late 2026.


 

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Why is this project needed?

The new clear water storage tank will provide additional storage for treated drinking water, helping to meet demand as the region grows and ensuring reliable supply during peak usage or unexpected events.

What is a clear water storage tank?

A clear water storage tank holds fully treated, potable drinking water before it is distributed to homes and businesses.

Will my water supply be affected during construction?

No water supply interruptions are expected during this project.
 

Will there be noise or disruptions during construction?

Construction activity will be confined to the Shepparton Operations Centre site on Florence Stree­­t. While there may be increased noise and vehicle movement during business hours at times, we’ll work to minimise disruption.

Nearby residents and businesses have been notified about the works and will continue to be kept informed throughout the project.
