Echuca water tower overflows

As a result, the level of water stored in the tower increased and caused it to overflow.

“Coliban Water contractors repaired the problem around 9pm on Friday,” Mr Healy said.

“The contractors attended and were able to re-wire the system to repair the issue,” he said.

“There was no disruption to Echuca’s normal water supply during this time.

“But there was some minor flooding around the base of the tower due to the overflow, which quickly dispersed.”

Further investigations regarding the cause of the communication equipment failure will take place this week.
