Morwell Waterworks Trust

Full description

The Morwell Waterworks Trust was constituted under the provisions of the Water Act 26 August 1912, and gazetted 4 September 1912. And proclaimed an Urban district 3 February 1914.

Water Reform
Under section 8 of the Water and Sewerage Authorities (Restructuring) Act 1983 (No. 9895) many Waterworks Trusts and Sewerage Authorities were abolished. Water Boards replaced Waterworks Trusts and Sewerage Authorities, or the functions were transferred to Municipalities. Further reforms in the 1990's led to the amalgamation of many of the Water Boards created after 1983.

Abolition
The Morwell Water Board [gazetted 7/12/1983], succeeded the Morwell Waterworks Trust. Other agencies involved in this amalgamation were the Boolarra Waterworks Trust (VA 4121), Morwell Sewerage Authority (VA 4093) and Churchill Sewerage Authority (VA 4122).
