Emergency water collection changes

Operating days and hours at four temporary bulk water collection points will change from today, Monday 31 March, as South Australia prepares for the end of daylight saving.


The state government opened the emergency water collection points for properties not connected to mains water and which faced lengthy waits for water carting deliveries.


Four sites are operating at Elizabeth Park, McLaren Vale, Woodside and Sandergrove.


New opening days and times from this week are: 

  • Wednesdays 10am-4pm.
  • Saturdays and Sundays 10am-4pm.


Department for Environment and Water (DEW) says demand and water use at these points will continue to be monitored carefully and, in response, operating days and hours may be adjusted.
