MORE than a third of Goulburn Murray Water’s flood repair projects to be completed are in the Loddon.
The water corporation on Monday released an interactive map showing 96 of 178 works had been finished, including 16 around Boort, Dingee and Mitiamo. However, more than 30 remain on the to-do list, many along the Waranga Western Channel.
GMW said flood recovery works were progressing in areas where the floodwaters had receded.
Incident and recovery general manager Daniel Irwin said the interactive maps would help customers understand which areas have been impacted.
“The incident and recovery team has made the identification and reinstatement of flood-impacted assets a priority,” he said.
“Customers can use the interactive water delivery availability status map on our website to see whether their network has been affected or whether they are able to order water as normal.”
Some delivery networks need to undergo repairs before customers with service points on the network can order water again.
GMW has also developed an infrastructure recovery map to provide an overview of assessments and repairs. The map shows the locations of repair works and their status and details the number of rapid assessments that are pending and the number that have been completed.
“Based on the extent of the flooding in different areas we have identified which of our assets may have been impacted and scheduled an assessment to be undertaken,” Mr Irwin said.
“If the assessment reveals an asset does need repair, it is then added to our list of required works.
“The infrastructure recovery map enables people to see where assets have been repaired and where we have identified assets in need of repair.”
