TWO Loddon projects have been named by Coliban Water as key works in the past year, according to its annual report.
Coliban has highlighted a  $2 million investment at the Pyramid Hill Water Treatment Plant to refurbish the clarifiers and filters and the $5 million upgrade at Laanecoorie that was officially opened last month.
Managing director Damian Wells said the last 12 months had seen the company move through the early stages of implementing a long-term program of large-scale infrastructure projects and increase its investment in capital works.
“We are now in the second year of our new five-year pricing submission,” he said. 
“Our large-scale infrastructure projects will see safe and reliable drinking water, sewer and rural services continue to be delivered to current and future generations. In the 2022-2023 financial year we spent $55 million in capital expenditure. This past financial year, that program further increased to $73 million to build and upgrade assets that will be able to stand up to the challenges of climate change and regional growth.”
Coliban Water says it will invest almost $500 million in capital works in the next three years.
