The project delivered a new 600ML water storage dam and connected the existing Quarry Road pump station to supply treated water in the McLaren Vale region.

The new facility supplies recycled waste water to support increased grape production in McLaren Vale and is improving the industry’s sustainability. It is enabling vineyard expansion, by around 500 hectares, and supporting an increase in the production of premium grapes and wine.
