Our local waterways can be affected by polluted stormwater run-off. It is the responsibility of governments, industry and the community to prevent pollution of our water resources and to protect water quality for future generations.

The Eastern Health Authority deals with stormwater pollution issues on Council's behalf. To report pollution incidents, email eha@eha.sa.gov.au or call 8132 3600.

For serious or urgent reports please contact the Environment Protection Authority on 8204 2000.

Reusing grey water is a great way to conserve water; however, it is important to be aware of the regulatory approval process currently in place in South Australia.

What is grey water?

Grey water comes from sinks, showers, bathtubs and appliances like washing machines and dishwashers. It does not include water from toilets. Black water is sewage water from toilets.

It's very important that both grey and black water are treated and managed properly to ensure public health and safety.

For information on installing water reuse systems and the associated risks and requirements, visit SA Health.

Installation of permanent greywater systems requires approval from Council.

Contact Council's Development team on (08) 8366 9222 or mail@campbelltown.sa.gov.au for advice.

Throughout eastern Adelaide, Councils are installing water smart solutions in our parks, streets and roads. This will create cooler, greener and more sustainable places for us to live, visit and enjoy.

ERA Water

The ERA Water Project is a long-term regional project designed to provide an alternative water source to SA Water’s potable water system to water reserves, parks and playing ovals on the eastern side of Adelaide. The project is run the Cities of Burnside and Norwood Payneham and St Peters, and the Town of Walkerville, with Campbelltown participating as a facilitator of infrastructure in its area, and a water customer for irrigation of Daly Oval Magill.

In August 2016, Council approved the establishment of an easement on the northern side of the Gums Reserve for the installation of a water tank and pump associated with the ERA Water Project.

The Max Amber Sportsfield Aquifer Recovery

Since 2003, an Aquifer Storage and Recovery System has been successfully operating at The Max Amber Sportsfield. Surface waters from Fifth Creek are collected during periods of high winter flow and stored underground. The water is retrieved during summer months to irrigate the sporting fields at The Max Amber Sportsfield.

In 2022 the scheme was expanded with the connection of a second bore to store and recover water from which doubled the capacity of the scheme from 50ML to 100ML.  A pipeline was also constructed from Max Amber Sportsfield to Thorndon Park and Steve Woodcock Sportsfield which allows those reserves to be irrigated with the underground stored water as well as what was already occurring at the Max Amber Sportsfield.

Campbelltown's water supply comes from the Happy Valley Reservoir, River Murray, reservoirs across the Mount Lofty Ranges and the Adelaide Desalination Plant.

Saving water is great for the environment, and it can also help you reduce your water bills.
