The Clare Valley Water Supply Scheme was implemented to supply reticulated township water to the Clare region and to augment supplies to the mid north of South Australia and Yorke Peninsula. Commissioning of the pipeline was completed in September 2004 and the pipeline was officially opened in December 2004.
