Coliban Water's storages are in a strong position going into the warmer months, although Lake Eppalock is sitting at just 40 per cent of its full capacity.
Upper Coliban Reservoir is full, Lauriston Reservoir is at 94 per cent and Malmsbury Reservoir, is 64 per cent of its capacity, with a combined volume of 64,197 megalitres.
Coliban Water's regional liveability manager Steve Healy said winter inflows of 24,057 megalitres had increased storage volume by 36 per cent over the three months.
"We are in a good position for the peak summer demand period but the Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting below average rainfall and warmer than average days over the coming months," Mr Healy said.
"Permanent water saving rules are in place across our region and everything we do to conserve water helps overall water security."
There are sufficient reserves in the water supply systems for the next 12 months.
But within Goulburn-Murray Water's catchment, Lake Eppalock's current volume is 121,400 megalitres, or 40 per cent of its full capacity.
Cairn Curran Reservoir is currently at 52 per cent capacity, or a volume of 76,344 megalitres.
Tullaroop Reservoir is sitting on 80 per cent of its capacity, while Laanecoorie Reservoir 97 per cent full.
Northern Victoria Resource Manager Andrew Shields said flows into storages across northern Victoria were below average for this time of year.
"The catchments remain relatively wet but more rainfall during spring is needed to increase the volume of water available," Mr Shields said.
