Coliban Water’s storages went up another per cent on Monday night and that is expected to rise over the coming days.

Already in the past week storages have jumped more than 20 per cent to 78 per cent overall.

Coliban Water managing director Gavin Hanlon said inflows into reservoirs peaked at 9000 megalitres on Saturday.

It dropped down to 2000 megalitres a day on Monday.

“We’ll probably see 500 to 600 megalitres a day into storages over the next few days,” he said.

“Inflows peak and trough quite quickly and will probably drop off again quickly unless we get some more rain.”

Coliban Water has also recorded strong inflows at their reservoirs around Castlemaine.

Their Lauriston storage is at more than 98 per cent.

Coliban’s largest storage, Upper Coliban, has reached more than 82 per cent capacity.

Flood gates have also been opened at Malmsbury Reservoir, which is at 43 per cent capacity.

Goulburn Murray Water has also recorded strong inflows from the weekend, when more than a month’s average rain fell in just two days.

Lake Eppalock is just shy of 60 per cent capacity, up from the 8 per cent total recorded less than six months ago.

GM-Water’s acting resources manager Mark Bailey said Lake Eppalock reached 58.2 per cent yesterday afternoon.

With 177,308 megalitres in storages, it has reached levels rarely seen in the past decade.

Cairn Curran Reservoir between Maryborough and Castlemaine is holding 111,938 megalitres and is at 76.1 per cent capacity.

GM-Water’s Tullaroop and Laanecoorie reservoirs are both full at 100 per cent.

Storages could continue to fill, with more rain on the way.

The Bureau of Meteorology has predicted a dry day today followed by developing rain and showers for the rest of the week.
