Maintenance works on our channel system
GMW undertakes maintenance works on the channel systems that supply our irrigation districts. This includes the treatment of submerged aquatic weeds along various channels across irrigation districts to ensure a more consistent water supply to customers.
Treating weeds helps to ensure GMW’s channels and infrastructure are properly maintained and safe ahead of the next irrigation season.
About herbicide treatment
Our operational planning for these aquatic weed treatment is extensive, to ensure the best outcomes for our customers, aquatic life and the environment.
When planning herbicide treatment in the channel system, GMW works closely with relevant agencies including Catchment Management Authorities, Victorian Fisheries Authority (VFA) and the Environment Protection Authority to ensure the application is conducted in a controlled and safe manner.
