Watercourse Management

The Burnside area is crossed by a series of watercourses or creeks that flow out of the Mount Lofty Ranges foothills and across our urban areas.

Greywater

Domestic greywater is wastewater generated from bathrooms, laundries and kitchens.

Rainwater Tanks

By using and installing a rainwater tank system to supply water for some, or indeed all of your household requirements, you can reduce your dependence on mains water.

Stormwater

Council is responsible for the care and maintenance of the local public stormwater drainage network. Property owners are responsible for all drainage infrastructure related to the drainage of private property.

Water Saving Tips

Understand where water is used around the home and how to achieve substantial reductions in consumption.

Shower Timer Campaign

Water conservation can be a simple and affordable goal for any household. As a community, Burnside can make significant changes to the health of our precious water resources.
