Since its completion, Bromelton Offstream Storage delivered an additional 5,000 megalitres (1,100×106 imp gal; 1,300×106 US gal) in water supply capacity, working in conjunction with Cedar Grove Weir and the Wyaralong Dam, that was completed in 2001, to improve the reliability of the Logan River Water Supply Scheme in drought conditions.
