WBW is working in collaboration with the McLaren Vale Grape Wine & Tourism Association and the McLaren Vale Growers Council to deliver reclaimed water, replacing the use of mains water by small to medium sized irrigators.

WBWC is working with the Onkaparinga Council on the proposed $62million Waterproofing the South project. The application for Stage 1 of the project was lodged with the Federal Government’s National Water Commission in 2006.

If approved, it would involve extending the WBW pipeline from Christies Beach Wastewater Treatment Plant into the southern suburbs to irrigate parks, gardens and school grounds, and for use in public toilets, saving at least 1,000 megalitres of mains water annually.

Under the banner of Waterproofing the South, the Onkaparinga Council has developed strategies to make significant gains in water conservation and reuse at a community and regional level.
