BAROSSA INFRASTRUCTURE LTD (BIL)
“To provide a high quality water supply in the Barossa which, when applied in environmentally and viticulturally appropriate quantities, sustains crop yield and quality through dry periods at a cost that is lower than other quality water sources.”
Additional Water for Irrigation in Barossa
At the request of shareholders, BIL continues to investigate options to bring additional water into the Barossa and Eden Valley.
Highly treated wastewater from Bolivar is not financially viable at this time.
BIL, the Department for Environment and Water (DEW) and SA Water are still investigating a River Murray source of water for Eden Valley.
This letter provides an update, ahead of a public meeting that is postponed until SA Water provides BIL their assessment of water transportation options.
BIL’s October 2020 seven Principles of Engagement continue to guide BIL and those we discuss options with.
BIL is engaging frequently with State and Federal members of Parliament, DEW, BA, SA Water and other appropriate organisations.
Expression of Interest for More Water
New customers or existing customers seeking more water are encouraged to submit an Expression of Interest so we are able to plan appropriately. This is non-binding on customers and BIL.
If you are new to the scheme, please familiarise yourself with BIL and in particular the typical costs associated with being a customer via this Information Sheet.
To discuss additional water or an expression of interest, contact Simon Schutz, BIL’s General Manager, on Simon@BIL.net.au or 0403 743 199.
