Water security in Daylesford and nearby towns is being boosted with a new pipeline delivering up to 300 million litres of additional water per year nearing completion.
Minister for Water Gayle Tierney last week announced the start of the third and final stage of the $25 million upgrade to the water supply system for Daylesford, Hepburn, and Hepburn Springs.
Once completed in 2026, the pipeline will connect Daylesford to the Goldfields Superpipe, able to boost the Wombat and Bullarto reservoirs with up to 300 million litres of additional water per year.
This secures more water during times of drought and low rainfall, reducing the risk of water restrictions.
