Grampians Bushfire Response
Grampians Region
Starting: 23 December 2024
Unplanned interruption
Reason: Bushfire response
GWMWater has been working with the Incident Control Centre to monitor and manage impacts of the Grampians bushfires on our infrastructure and water supplies.
To date, no urban water supplies have been impacted – water in Halls Gap, Moyston, Pomonal and Willaura is safe to use as normal.
Some rural customers have experienced low pressure or no water, due to a power outage at the Willaura storage as a result of the bushfire burning through the area. These water supplies have now been restored.
If customers in the area experience any changes to water quality or water pressure, please contact us on 1800 188 586.
