Last weekend's rainfall has pushed Coliban's southern storages, and its share of Lake Eppalock, to 101,280 ML.

The weekend rain topped off an incredible few months.

Lake Eppalock was just 8.5 per cent full in May.

Bendigo's share of Lake Eppalock is 43,390 ML, an increase of 13,400 ML, or 24 per cent, in the past seven days.

Coliban Water's storages received considerable inflows on the weekend, rising 20 per cent.

The Upper Coliban Reservoir holds 30,789ML and is at 82 per cent full. Lauriston is holding 19,440ML at 98 per cent full, and Malmsbury is 43 per cent full with 7,652ML.
