Penshurst, Caramut and Mortlake

The Newer Volcanic Aquifer extends across the basalt plains of South West Victoria. We extract water from this aquifer via local bores at:

  • Penshurst
  • Caramut
  • Mortlake (to supplement the surface supply from Terang)

Macarthur

The Clifton Formation forms a high yielding aquifer at economic depths of less than 200 metres. We extract water from a local bore into this aquifer to supply Macarthur.

Glenthompson

At Glenthompson, we harvest water from two farmland catchment areas and stored it in the Glenthompson Reservoir. The water supply is supplemented through a pipeline from the Willaura supplied by Grampians Wimmera Mallee Water.
