Sandy Creek tanks: Kalperri Road

Starting March 2025, construction will begin on 2 above-ground water storage tanks, a new control valve building and a new underground trunk main connecting the tanks to the existing Barossa Trunk Main. These upgrades will increase network resilience, improve operability and ensure reliable water services for current and future customers.

Where the work will occur

The storage tanks will be built on secured land on the eastern side of Kalperri Road, approximately halfway between the Barossa Valley Highway and Balmoral Road in Sandy Creek.

Water mains pipes will be installed from the tank site to the railway line near Barossa Valley Way within the land east of Kalperri Road. Pipes will also be installed from the southern side of the tanks along the paddock boundary and follow the boundary north to the end of Warner Court.

What to expect

We’re committed to minimising disruptions and keeping you informed throughout the works.

If you’re affected by the works, we’ll let you know in advance and work closely with property owners, residents, businesses, and road users before and during the project. We’re also looking at all options to reduce road closures, detours, and traffic delays.

Please note, timeline dates are subject to change based on program requirements and weather conditions

What happens to roads and footpaths after our works?

We work closely with the local council and follow all required reinstatement obligations, reinstating the parts of the road, footpath or the environment directly impacted by our works.
