Dandenong Waterworks Trust

Full description

Dandenong Waterworks Trust was responsible for the 'construction and erection of an earthen embankment on Monbulk creek, a main thence to service tank, 6.5 miles distant; excavation of above tank; also lime settling ponds and clear water basin, main pipe thence to Dandenong and reticulation of township'.

In 1920 Dandenong Waterworks Trust was taken over by the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission.

The water was to supply Dandenong township in Dandenong Shire.

Subsequently, Dandenong Shire and Dandenong township were supplied with water from the Mornington Pensinsula Water Works District. Further research is required into the relationship between the latter and the Shire of Dandenong.
