Water supply
Sea Lake receives its water sourced from the Grampians, treated at Warracknabeal Water Treatment Plant and then piped to Sea Lake.
The upgrade protects Sea Lake water supply from adverse water quality events that have become more prevalent in the Murray River in recent years.
Previously Sea Lake received chlorinated water supply from the Murray River via the Northern Mallee Pipeline from four pumping stations at Swan Hill, Piangil, Nyah and Liparoo.
