Aireys Inlet area mains cleaning completed

30 June 2025

Barwon Water has completed water mains cleaning in the Aireys Inlet water supply area.

On 1 July, we will switch back to our usual water treatment process for the Aireys Inlet and Fairhaven area.

During this switch, you might notice a temporary change to the taste and smell of your drinking water. The water is safe to use.

Thank you for your patience during the cleaning program.

Barwon Water will continue to monitor water quality throughout the supply network to ensure the community has access to the highest quality drinking water.

For general information about how we maintain water quality, visit the Water Quality page on our website.


About the cleaning program

Our Drinking Water Quality Team regularly reviews levels of disinfectant, nitrite, nitrate, and pH (nitrification indicators) in all our chloraminated systems.

Recent testing showed this was present in the Aireys Inlet system.
