For those who reside in the Mildura township, the 14th St water tower and its buddy the 10th St water tower, are your friends. They are the reason your water is under pressure and flows freely when you turn on your taps.
-
In a nutshell, to get water to your home, we pump if from the river to two Water Treatment Plants (at 7th St and Mildura West), where it is lovingly treated to meet safe drinking water standards.
-
Then it is pumped out of the ground level storages at these locations and moved to conveniently placed storage tanks, where it sits, patiently waiting to do its job.
-
From there it is called to action and pumped up into these two almighty and imposing towers. Because they are so high, these towers create a 'pressure head' (engineering technical term, if you want to know more our engineers will happily and passionately explain this).
-
As the water is being used by people in their homes, this pressure created in the towers provides continuously flowing water for your use whether that be drinking, washing, watering gardens, etc.
-
So if you have ever wondered the exact purpose of these whopping towers, they aren't so much storage vessels but important pressure-creating devices, at times spectacularly encased in clouds.

From Sunday 15 December to Wednesday 18 December w

From Sunday 15 December to Wednesday 18 December we experienced issues with water quality from the Murray River, which led to reduced production of water for Mildura, Merbein, Irymple and Red Cliffs towns.
-
We worked hard to get our treatment plants back in normal operation.
We would like to thank our customers for all the support.
-
“It is extremely pleasing to see how the community has responded by significantly reducing water demand. This has enabled normal operating levels of our water treatment plants to be restored earlier than originally anticipated,” said our Managing Director, Mr Anthony Couroupis.
