Private Water Supplies (tanks, bores)

Water tank.png

If you live outside a township in a rural or semi-rural area, it is likely that the water you drink is obtained from private water tanks or bores. This may also be the case for any accommodation and food businesses in these areas. It is important that water from these supplies is maintained regularly and not contaminated.

Further information on rainwater tanks is available on the HealthVic website.

Information regarding private groundwater extraction bores is available on the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action website.

People requiring further advice on private water supplies can contact Council on (03) 5772 0333.
