Tickets are still available (and only $5 if you're under 25) so don't miss out on this fantastic family friendly show about tardigrades!

The Windmill Production Company is bringing wicked puppetry, choreography, live video and green screen technology to unveil the mysteries of the wildly weird tardigrade!

We’re also taking over the theatre foyer before the show! Come early for tardi-crafts and check out our microscope to search for a real-life micro-organism. There’s even a chance to have a selfie as a tardigrade!

Partnership delivering for environment and communities.

A strengthened partnership between Corangamite CMA and Wannon Water is set to deliver even stronger outcomes for south west Victoria’s environment and regional communities.

Formalised late last month, the renewed agreement builds on a long-standing collaboration focused on:
✅ Improving the health and resilience of the Gellibrand River
✅ Supporting sustainable water management and climate resilience
✅ Boosting community connection to local waterways through water literacy

By working together — and alongside Traditional Owners and regional partners — this partnership will help protect vital ecosystems while supporting thriving, connected communities now and into the future.

UPDATE:

We’re continuing work to repair the burst water main on Moore Street, Warrnambool and hope to have the issue fixed by the end of the day.

Most impacted customers will now have their water restored but may be experiencing lower pressure than usual.

Customers experiencing discoloured water should run a tap for a few minutes until it clears.

We thank the community for their patience as we work to resolve this issue.
_______________________________________________________________________
We’re aware that a large number of our Warrnambool customers are currently without water or experiencing low pressure, and we’re sorry for the disruption.

We’re responding to a major water main burst in the Moore Street area and are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Motorists are encouraged to take extra caution or avoid travelling in the area if possible.

Please keep an eye on our socials for updates.

We were proud to honour the First Nations people who have served, or continue to serve, in the defence force at a special event in Heywood this week.

Around 80 community members gathered beside the Heywood Indigenous War Memorial Water Tower to reflect and pay their respects. They included members of the First Peoples' Assembly of Victoria, Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation, Winda-Mara Aboriginal Corporation, Glenelg Shire Council and students from Heywood Consolidated School.

First Nations people have been serving in conflict and peacekeeping missions involving Australia for over a century. For many years, their contributions went unrecognised until a service was held in Melbourne during Reconciliation Week 20 years ago.

Thank you to everyone who attended, shared their stories, and created native wreaths to lay at the base of the memorial.

We’re more than just water! Did you know we maintain and renew more than 1,000 kilometres of sewer mains?

If we laid them end-to-end, they would stretch from our coastline to the Queensland border!

Our sewer network is a hidden necessity and it’s easy to forget about all the wastewater coming from our kitchens, bathrooms and laundries that enters the system every day.

But with the average household creating 125,000 litres of sewage every year – enough to fill 30 big brown bins every week – it’s not something you want to manage yourself.

That’s why we’re here – to take a load off your mind.

Featuring wicked puppetry, choreography, live video and green screen technology, Moss Piglet will unveil the mysteries of the wildly weird tardigrade.

We’re also taking over the theatre foyer before the show! Join us for tardi-crafts and a microscope for a real-time micro-organism search. There’s even a chance to have a selfie with a tardigrade!

We’re used to all kinds of weather, but did you know Victoria has Permanent Water Saving Rules that apply all year, rain, hail or shine?

Under the rules:

- Always water your garden using a leak-free hose with a trigger nozzle.
- Sprinklers and drippers can only be used before 10am and after 6pm.
- Don't hose concrete, paths or driveways – use a broom instead.

Head to https://www.wannonwater.com.au/pwsr for a refresher on the full range of rules.
