The Milang to Clayton pipeline was completed in December 2007 and is now supplying Clayton Bay Estate with potable water. The distribution network in Clayton Bay Estate, previously managed by Alexandrina Council, was handed over to SA Water on 1 July 2008.

The construction of the Milang to Clayton pipeline provided a number of opportunities to supply potable water to residents outside the Council managed network.

Consequently a number of new rural customers have connected to the pipeline along its route from Milang to Clayton. An opportunity was also provided to a number of new residential estates and the residential area of Old Clayton to connect to the system through an extension to the pipeline. The majority of residents voted in favour of connecting to the system with associated fees and charges.

Clayton Bay Water Supply Company is now being supplied with water from the Milang to Clayton pipeline and Pelican Water Estates' sub division has also been connected to the new system in July 2008 as part of this project.

Construction details
Construction of the extension pipeline will start in October 2008 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of December 2008.

The pipeline extension will be about 3.6 kilometres long using PVC pipe of varying diameters - 100mm, 200mm and 250mm. The network will be buried in the road verge and the proposed pipeline route includes two road crossings. Roads will be reinstated at the point of the crossing.

WaterNish Construction Pty Ltd has been engaged to undertake the construction of the extension and SA Water will work to minimise any potential construction impacts including noise, dust and traffic restrictions as a result of the work. Residents will also be informed of any construction directly impacting their property as the work progresses.

To see the proposed pipeline route refer to the map.
