Swan Reach-Paskeville pipeline

The Swan Reach to Paskeville pipeline is a 189 km long pipeline to deliver treated water drawn from the River Murray upstream of Swan Reach to the Barossa Valley and Yorke Peninsula and places in between.

It was originally constructed as the Swan Reach to Stockwell pipeline, but then extended across the Mid North to Paskeville.

[1] There are three pumping stations to lift water from near sea level at Swan Reach to the highest point near Moculta in the Mount Lofty Ranges east of the northern Barossa Valley.

The first pump station lifts water 156 metres (512 ft) from Swan Reach to tanks at Black and White Hills.

[2] As part of its upgrade to reduce energy costs, SA Water is installing solar farms next to many of its pump stations, including the first two on the Swan Reach to Stockwell pipeline.
