Callide Dam was constructed in 1965 to supply water for the nearby power station, Callide dam holds 136 300 ML at an average depth of 10.5 m and a surface area of 1240 hectares at full capacity.

SunWater is undertaking a dam spillway capacity upgrade program to ensure the highest level of safety for our dams is maintained. The spillway will be upgraded in the longer term. [ [http://www.sunwater.com.au/current_projects_Spillway.htm Spillway Capacity Upgrade Program] ]
