Works underway to fix Benalla mains break
08 May 2025
Our teams have worked overnight and today to fix a large water main break in Benalla.
The burst has disturbed natural minerals in our pipework, causing reports of water discolouration. The western area of Benalla is mainly affected, though discolouration may occur beyond this location.
Please know that the water remains safe to drink.
Water at the town standpipe is also discoloured so we have closed it for 24 hours, flushing customer connections first.
After we have finished flushing the pipe network in your area, you may temporarily see discoloured or cloudy water from your tap. To clear this, run the tap at the front of your property for a few minutes until the water runs clear. If the water does not clear after five minutes, please call us on 1300 361 644.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we address this issue.
We'll provide information updates when the flushing is complete and the standpipe re-opens.
