Take me straight to the survey

Marion Water is a Council-run recycled water business that captures and treats stormwater (run-off from rainfall) at Oaklands Wetland to reuse across our Council area to make out city greener and cooler.

Through the Aquifer Storage and Reuse scheme, treated stormwater is delivered through about 30 km of recycled water pipeline network, currently helping to irrigate more than 50 parks, gardens, reserves and ovals across the City of Marion. Water is also supplied to third-party customers and further extensions are planned.

The network is expected to be able to reduce the need for drinking water quality SA Water supply (some of which is supplied by the River Murray) by 314 million litres each year.

Capturing stormwater before it reaches the sea and treating it for reuse also benefits the Gulf of St Vincent and its important seagrass meadows.

Our vision is to develop Marion Water into a self-sustaining, full cost recovery business that delivers environmental, financial, social and recreational benefits to our community.

Your feedback helped us develop our first plan in 2023.

We have now updated the plan which sets out how we will manage water more sustainably, respond to climate change and support a healthy, liveable community. It contains our guiding principles, 6 key objectives and our action plan below. We now want to hear what you think.

Take a look at the Marion Water Plan 2026 and complete the short survey below.

Your feedback will be considered as we finalise the updated plan.

Have your say before 5 pm Thursday 24 September 2026.
