Water Supply – Continuity
GWSC operates a bore to extract and supply water and does not guarantee that the supply of water will be continuous. The primary purpose of the water supply to members is to enable the topping up of their independent water tank.
​
System maintenance requirements, breakdowns and other unforeseen circumstances may require the system to be closed down for lengthy periods without warning at any time.
Though if a system shut down occurs a Notification will be posted on the home page of this website to advise members.
The GWSC system is not intended to be the sole or principal source of domestic or fire-fighting water on any property.
The GWSC constitution specifically requires members to have and maintain a high degree of self-sufficiency in domestic water supply.
At least 60,000 litres static capacity providing the dwelling with its primary source of water is essential for membership consideration.
Planning Act of South Australia requires all residents in CFS response areas to maintain a minimum of 22,000 litres at all times for firefighting.
GWSC Directors have power to revoke membership when this condition is breached.
