Helping Our Region Stay Water Smart All Year Round
GWMWater is reminding customers across the Grampians, Mallee and Wimmera that Permanent Water Saving Rules are in place every day of the year.
The simple, common sense rules help our communities use water wisely and protect supplies for the future.
Recreational water users are advised to avoid direct contact with water in Lake Lonsdale following the detection of elevated blue-green algae levels.
Visitors can still enjoy recreational activities such as boating, bushwalking, sightseeing and other activities at the lake that do not involve direct water contact.
With a theme of 'What do you enjoy most about GWMWater's lakes, reservoirs and weir pools?' provide us with up to three photos of water bodies in our region.
Prizes:
- Major prize is a $500 gift voucher
- Nine runner-up prizes of $100 gift vouchers.
In this issue 
Tapping In Edition 3 2025/26, we talk about our commitment to recreational water, introduce our new Board members, and discuss our digital upgrade projects across the region.
