Gippsland Water upgrades drinking water infrastructure with new covers and liners to ensure safe, reliable supplies
Gippsland Water is progressing in upgrading drinking water infrastructure, having replaced covers and liners at nine storage sites, ensuring treated water quality and enhancing network resilience. Five upgrades remain.
Gippsland Water is making steady progress in a significant program of works to protect drinking water supplies across its service area. The organisation has finished replacing covers and liners at nine water storages, with just five more to go. Cover and liners are used to maintain treated water quality and prevent foreign matter entering water storages, providing protection for around 25 years.

Managing director Sarah Cumming said work wrapped up at Sale's second storage basin in early October and great progress was being made at another water storage in Coongulla. "These upgrades are just one example of how we are upgrading our infrastructure so we can continue to deliver safe and reliable water for our customers. By replacing ageing covers and liners, we're not only ensuring the supply of safe, clean drinking water but also enhancing the resilience of our entire network," Ms Cumming said.
Completed upgrades include:
- Warragul water treatment plant storage basin

- Sale water treatment plant storage basin one
