REPLACEMENT of box culverts along the Western Waranga Channel is part of Goulburn Murray Water’s winter works program.
Crews are currently installing new culverts near Boort Golf Club and on Borung-Fernihurst Road.
The winter program is at the midway point and GMW infrastructure delivery services general manager Warren Jose said a significant amount of work would be completed during the next three months.
“This year’s winter works program, we’re investing about $6 million. That covers desilting, weed treatment and major upgrades to assets such as bridges, culverts and regulator structures,” he said.
“We’re treating weeds in around 200km of channel this winter, which is almost five per cent of our total network. We are also removing silt from about 100km of channels. This will enhance flows and ensure water gets through to our customers,” Mr Jose said.
