Other water from Tallowa Dam is provided to Shoalhaven City Council for supply to local communities. Water is also released from the dam as environmental flows for the Shoalhaven River. #NOTE: With the completion and commissioning of the new Prospect Raw Water Pumping Station, an additional 24,400 megalitres of water can now be accessed from Prospect Reservoir. This previously inaccessible water has now been added to the full operating storage for Prospect Reservoir. |
