Tod River Reservoir

Tod River Reservoir

The Tod River Reservoir is 27 kilometres north of Port Lincoln and an ideal spot for a barbeque picnic and some tennis. While you’re there you can learn about the dam wall construction in the early 20th century and visit the lookout. The reservoir is supplied by concrete channels fed from weirs constructed across the Tod River and its major tributary, Pillaworta Creek.

The reservoir is not used to supply drinking water to our customers, primarily due to the water’s high salinity levels. We currently don't monitor this reservoir's volume.

Capacity: 11.3 gigalitres

Open to the public: Yes
