Loddon Water Districts WSC
The Loddon Water Districts Water Services Committee represents domestic and stock customers in the Loddon Valley Irrigation district. This area is bounded by Boort in the west, half way to Kerang in the north, Pyramid Hill in the east and down to Serpentine in the south.
GMW’s Loddon Water District customers primarily use the water for domestic and stock purposes.
The focus for the committee this year has been on a secure water supply. Since a pipeline was introduced in the area, customers have not had to rely on carting water for livestock which has in turn, provided valuable back up for many household’s domestic use as rainwater tanks ran dry last summer.
Two pipelines now operate in the Loddon Water Districts region and both have been operating effectively with very little leaks or issues to report.
Over summer, blue-green algae affected western parts of the region but did not impact the Normanville pipeline. To contact the Loddon Water Districts WSC, please email reception@gmwater.com.au, and attention your email to the 'Loddon Water Districts WSC'.
