Ongoing wet weather is impacting sewer and water networks across the region.
Coliban Water is monitoring the situation at its water reclamation plants, particularly at Epsom and Kyneton.
A spokesperson confirmed there had been a number of sewer spills due to excess stormwater, including in Jeffrey Street, Kyneton, and Ellesmere Place, Malmsbury.
“We have a number of other locations that remain at risk due to the amount of stormwater that will remain in the system while the wet weather continues,” the spokesperson said.
“We have notified the Environment Protection Authority Victoria about sewer overflows where necessary and we can confirm there is no risk to drinking supplies or networks.
“We are managing all spills in accordance with protocols to manage environmental risk.
“Clean-up is under way at impacted sites and we have crews across the region taking water samples and monitoring various locations.”
