Geelong Sewer Flow Meter Installation

10 September 2025

Barwon Water is installing flow meters into maintenance holes across the region. This will ensure we can continue to provide reliable sewerage services for our customers.

Work is scheduled to take place during September and October, between 7.30 am and 5.30 pm, Monday to Friday. If Saturday work is required, this will be between 7 am and 1 pm.

As part of this work, please note:

  • There will be some changes to traffic conditions. Traffic management will be present on site to ensure the safe and efficient movement of pedestrians and vehicles.
  • There may be increased noise and dust. We will aim to minimise impacts to local residents and businesses.
  • You may notice some odour, as we are working with sewage. This is not harmful to people or pets, and we will work to minimise any impacts to nearby residents.
  • Access to driveways and private property will be maintained. If your driveway is going to be impacted, you will be contacted separately.
  • We will reinstate the area upon completion of works, ensuring it is left in good condition.
  • There will be no interruptions to your water and sewerage services as part of these works.


We apologise for any inconvenience. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we get these essential works done.

This project is being delivered by Barwon Asset Solutions, a company owned by Barwon Water to deliver high quality asset maintenance and project management services.
