Standpipes

Potable water may be obtained from Council managed standpipes in Maldon, Newstead and Taradale. An AvData key is required to access water as all standpipes are connected to the electronic AvData system.

Customers with a water carters’ licence may purchase an AvData key and be set-up with an AvData account at the Civic Centre in Castlemaine. Individuals with an AvData key may also apply for access to any standpipe in the Coliban Water network connected to the AvData system.

Individuals with a water carters’ license may purchase an AvData key and be set-up with an AvData account at the Civic Centre in Castlemaine. For immediate access to standpipes in our shire simply fill in the AvData application form, present your drivers and water carters licenses and pay a $36.10 fee for an AvData key.

Applications are forwarded to AvData to set up the account. AvData bills customers for their water usage monthly.
