Willunga Basin Water operates a large recycled water scheme in the iconic McLaren Vale Wine Region in South Australia, currently servicing the McLaren Vale, Willunga, Aldinga and Sellicks Beach regions, with future extension of the scheme to Blewitt Springs.
Willunga Basin Water has been an innovator in the use of recycled water technology and now serves as a role model of success for other demand-driven, recycled water schemes across Australia. It delivers high environmental value to the community by reducing the discharge of treated effluent to the Gulf St Vincent and replaces water that would otherwise be taken from a stressed groundwater resource or the River Murray, lessening environmental impact and creating a sustainable recycled water source.
Willunga Basin Water Company’s vision is to supply recycled water that:
— Delivers desirable water solutions
— Enhances water conservation
— Makes the community more sustainable and liveable.
