Pipeline supplied recreation lakes and weir pools
Pipeline supplied recreation lakes and weir pools
We place a high value on lakes and weir pools in our region because of the environmental benefits, the opportunities for local communities to enjoy recreational activities, and the visitors they attract to our region.
Our rural pipelines supply water to 14 recreational lakes and weir pools with 12 of them supplied from the Grampians reservoir system through the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline. This is made possible under a 3090 ML recreation water entitlement held by us specifically for this purpose.
We also supply water to Ouyen Lake and Green Lake (near Sea Lake) from our Murray River allocations. Water is delivered to Ouyen Lake through the Northern Mallee Pipeline, while Green Lake’s water is delivered through the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline Supply System 5.
