Works are scheduled to take place in major regional hubs including Gawler, Loxton, Port Lincoln and Port Pirie.
All will receive a share of around 47,000 m in new water main, set to be installed over the next 12 months.
SA Water General Manager of Sustainable Infrastructure Amanda Lewry said the program builds on the 31,000 m of water main upgraded across regional areas during 2020-21.
“Improving our services isn’t just about delivering good quality drinking water, it’s about maintaining the system that delivers it, to reduce the frequency of water main leaks and breaks and their potential impact on our customers,” she said.
“Through smart investment, these ongoing improvements to your regional water network will help sustain the infrastructure’s long-term reliability.”
Works will include replacing reticulated water mains as well as upgrades to larger pipelines and treatment plants.
