MITIAMO remains calm as farmers and home owners takes precautions of a rise in flood water levels around the town.
The watch and act alert issued on Tuesday will is not due to be updated until Thursday.
However, Tracey Cox said this afternoon there had been no dramatic changes to Bullock or Bendigo Creek Echuca Mitiamo-Pyramid Hill Rd and a slight rise on theBendigo (Piccaniny Creek).
"The paddocks are slowly drying up which is good news, but the is still a lot of water around," she said.
The nearest sandbag collection points for Mitiamo residents are in Dingee and Pyramid Hill.
In Pyramid Hill, pumps continue to keep water out of the town and impacts may not be high, said CFA captain Steve Mann.
Temperatures in the 30s today and predicted for the remainder of the week are aiding the rate of water dropping across the Loddon.
Drone footage by Kendall Jennings has captured the spread of low level water across paddocks around Mitiamo over the last 24 hours.
